How do I control LCD with Arduino?

Arduino – LCD. Controlling LCD is a quite complicated task. Fortunately, thanks to the LiquidCrystal library, this library simplifies the process of controlling LCD for you so you don’t need to know the low-level instructions. You just need to connect Arduino to LCD and use the functions of the library.

How to send data to LCD from Arduino?

Then, LCD displays the data on the screen The process of sending command (to control) to LCD (e.g, blink LCD, set the cursor to a specific location, clear the display …): Arduino writes command to D4 → D7 pins (data bus).

How many pins of Arduino to connect LCD?

You can choose any six pins of Arduino to connect to LCD, as long as you specify the connected pin in the Arduino code. We are considering to make the video tutorials.

How to connect LCD to Arduino with VCC?

EN (Enable) pin is used to enable the LCD. HIGH to enable the LCD, LOW to disable the LCD. D0-D7 (Data Bus) pins carries data and command between Arduino and LCD. There are two modes to send data: 4-bit mode and 8-bit mode. A-K (Anode & Cathode) pins are used to power the LCD backlight. A pin needs to be connected to VCC.

What is LCD I2C and how to use it with Arduino?

However, wiring between Arduino and the normal LCD is complicated. Therefore, LCD I2C has been created to simplify the wiring. Actually, LCD I2C is composed of a normal LCD, an I2C module and a potentiometer. LCD I2C uses I2C interface, so it has 4 pins: GND pin needs to be connected to GND (0V).

How to use liquidcrystal_i2c library in Arduino IDE?

On Arduino IDE, Go to Tools Manage Libraries Search “LiquidCrystal I2C”, then find the LiquidCrystal_I2C library by Frank de Brabander Click Install button to install LiquidCrystal_I2C library. Copy the above code and open with Arduino IDE
