Write a code to display a message on LCD Display:Ĭode: Please go through below code and comments line by line to understand the code and flow of the complete code. Once you are done with the connection, please cross check the connection to confirm all connections are OK or not. Connect LCD Backlight(+) pin to Vcc along with current limiting resistor of 220 Ohm.Connect LCD Contrast pin Vo to wiper (pin 2) of 10K POT and connect pin 1 of POT to Vcc and pin 3 to GND.Connect LCD D7 pin to digital pin 2 of Arduino.Connect LCD D6 pin to digital pin 3 of Arduino.Connect LCD D5 pin to digital pin 4 of Arduino.Connect LCD D4 pin to digital pin 5 of Arduino.Connect LCD R/W pin to GND pin of Arduino because we are going to do ‘write’ action only.Connect LCD Enable pin to digital pin 11 of Arduino.Connect LCD RS pin to digital pin 12 of Arduino.Connect LCD GND pin to GND pin of Arduino.Connect LCD Vcc/Vdd pin to Vcc pin of Arduino.Refer above fig 2 and below wiring details to interface LCD Display with Arduino UNO. 2 Interfacing of LCD Display with Arduino Uno Interfacing of LCD Display to Arduino: Fig. For this tutorials, we will be using 4-bit mode as we are going to display only the data on LCD and that will require only 7 I/O pins (Indirectly, you can say, we are saving 4 I/O lines for other uses). The 4-bit mode requires seven I/O pins(4 data lines + ctrl signals RS, R/W, En) from the Arduino, while the 8-bit mode requires 11 pins (8 data lines + ctrl signals RS, R/W, En). Note: LCDs can be controlled in two modes: 4-bit or 8-bit. Backlight (+)and Backlight (-) pins: Turn on/off the LED backlight.8 data pins (D0 -D7): Bi-directional data bus to read and write data.Enable pin (En): Enables writing to the registers.Read/Write (R/W): Selects reading mode or writing mode.

Contrast pin (Vo): Control the display contrast.We bought for our engineers this Arduino super-starter kit. Note: You can get these components fairly easily at many places (including online).

We also cover just enough electronics theory for you to be able to understand and troubleshoot any problems you may face. Follow along and you will produce something useful at the end of each tutorial. This is the fourth post of our hands-on, Arduino tutorial series. In this tutorial, you will learn about how to interface LCD Display with Arduino and display a message on LCD Display.
