CODE | Liquid Crystal Displays-Custom Character - Arduino Project 023D

RonWang2 years ago (2024-01-16)电子编程 COD48

Before wiring the LCD screen to your Arduino board we suggest to solder a pin header strip to the 14 (or 16) pin count connector of the LCD screen, as you can see in the image further up.

To start with, you will create a demonstration project that will show off most of the functions available in the LiquidCrystal.h library. To do so, you’ll use a backlit 16x2 LCD Display. 

To wire your LCD screen to your board, connect the following pins:

  • LCD RS pin to digital pin 9

  • LCD Enable pin to digital pin 8

  • 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 GND

  • LCD VSS pin to GND

  • LCD VCC pin to 5V

  • LCD LED+ to 5V through a 220 ohm resistor

  • LCD LED- to GND

Additionally, wire a 10k potentiometer to +5V and GND, with it's wiper (output) to LCD screens VO pin (pin3).
