LCD Display With Arduino( How to Use the LCD)

In the following section we are going to see how to use the lcd display with a microcontroller and also see the basic of the lcd over here by making a simple shield for the arduino or by making the simple breakout board for the lcd to the arduino

Step 1: Watch the Video

 

Step 2: Basics of the LCD

The basic data of the 16x2 lcd are given by
FEATURES
• 5 x 8 dots with cursor
• Built-in controller (KS 0066 or Equivalent)
• + 5V power supply (Also available for + 3V)
• 1/16 duty cycle
• B/L to be driven by pin 1, pin 2 or pin 15, pin 16 or A.K (LED)
• N.V. optional for + 3V power supply
And the pin diagram of the lcd is given in the pitcures above and the functions of the pins are also given above with each pin defination

Step 3: Creating the Basic Shield for the LCD to Work

 

by using the following circuit diagram of the shield making for LCD and as you have already watched the video you will get some basic idea about the circuit diagram of the lcd and their connections
The pins which we are going to use to connect it to any external microcontroller or microprocessor
RS(PIN=4)
E(PIN=6)
DB4(PIN=11)
DB5(PIN=12)
DB6(PIN=13)
DB7(PIN=14)

Step 4: Connecting to Arduino

 


To make the LCD to work with there is one missing component that is microcontroller that could be any like the 8086 or pic microcontroller in my case i have used a arduino uno
The pins which are being used in the following session are
Arduino pins LCD pins
12 RS
11 E
5 DB4
4 DB5
3 DB6
2 DB7
connect all the following wires to the arduino and the LCD

Step 5: Uploading the Code to Arduino

To fetch the sketch to the arduino you need to open the arduino ide and then you can follow the example code as
file-example-liquid_crystal-hello world
from the liquid crystal library to test the module the hello world example will be the best one
there are certain commands for the lcd and the arduino which are given in the arduino website
the link to the liquid crystal refrences

VU METER (Music Visualizer) #1 With Arduino

This is the part one of the music visualizer series and In the following tutorial we are going to make a music visualizer AKA the volume meter or the uv meter from an arduino mega . The build process is very simple and easy and the program of arduino is also not that hard. Step 1: Watch the Video Step 2: Parts List             The parts needed for this build are 1.ARDUINO MEGA 2.COPPER DOT PCB 3.BREAD BOARD 4.JUMPER WIRES 5.LED (RED ,BLUE ,GREEN) 6.TOOLS(SOLDERING IRON ,SOLDER WIRE) 7.AUDIO SPLITER WITH A JACK 8.HEADER PINS Step 3: Testing on Bread Board( 1.LED's and ARDUINO ) Start by inserting the led on the bread board with the negative leg of the led to a common ground rail of the bread board (led count =20) the positive leg of the led will be there at any empty rail of the bread board as shown in the video and following pictures Then connect the ground of the arduino to the common ground rail of the l...

ARDUINO IR REMOTE (USE YOUR OLD REMOTE TO CONTROLL HOME APPLIANCES)

In this project you can choose any remote or a TV remote which you are using and you will notice that some keys are useless for your tv for that you can use that keys for controlling the home appliences like powering your TV,FAN,LIGHTS etc... you need to follow the simple procedure from the video so that you can record hexa values for that particular key and put into the program of the arduino Step 1: WATCH THE VIDEO   Step 2: THINGS NEEDED           The things needed for the following project are 1.ARDUINO UNO OR CLONE 2.IR RECIVER 3.ANY OLD REMOTE 4.RELAY MODULE 5.JUMPER WIRES 6.ARDUINO IDE 7.SOME LED'S IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A RELAY MODULE BY YOURSELF YOU COULD NEED (OPTIONAL) 1.RELAY 2.BC547 TRANSISTOR 3. 1K OHM RESISTOR 4.COPPER DOT PCB Step 3: RECIVING THE IR CODE FROM REMOTE BUTTON   This is the test to recieve the hexadecimal code of the remote button 1.install the ir remote library form the fo...

VU METER (Part-2) Using LM-3914 & LM-3915

This is the second part of the music visualization series and in the video above i have shown how you can make a simple VU meter by using the ic called LM-3914 or LM-3915. The part 1 is basically about how you can make the simple and cool looking VU meter by using the arduino microcontroller link to that is given as and now we will see the step by step construction of the VU meter STEP 1: Watch the Video   STEP 2: PARTS LIST     To make this cool looking UV meter we need these following things 1.LM-3914 IC 2.Breadboard 3.Copper dot PCB 4.18 pin IC Holder 5.Resistor(1.2k & 4k ohm) 6.Potentiometer (1K ohm) & Knob 7.Audio jack 8.Dc jack 9.LED (6-Green & 2-Blue & 2-Red) 10.some connecting wires   TOOLS REQUIRED 1.soldering iron 2.wire cutter 3.soldering wire etc... STEP 3: SPECIFICATION OF LM-3914 & DATASHEET When looking at the LM-3914 ic datasheet these are some important feat...
