LiquidCrystal Library - Custom Characters
|
|
|
|
Demonstrates how to add custom characters on an LCD display.
|
|
The LiquidCrystal library works with all LCD displays that are
|
|
compatible with the Hitachi HD44780 driver. There are many of
|
|
them out there, and you can usually tell them by the 16-pin interface.
|
|
|
|
This sketch prints "I <heart> Arduino!" and a little dancing man
|
|
to the LCD.
|
|
|
|
The circuit:
|
|
* LCD RS pin to digital pin 12
|
|
* LCD Enable pin to digital pin 11
|
|
* LCD D4 pin to digital pin 5
|
|
* LCD D5 pin to digital pin 4
|
|
* LCD D6 pin to digital pin 3
|
|
* LCD D7 pin to digital pin 2
|
|
* LCD R/W pin to ground
|
|
* 10K potentiometer:
|
|
* ends to +5V and ground
|
|
* wiper to LCD VO pin (pin 3)
|
|
* 10K poterntiometer on pin A0
