How To – Use an LCD with Arduino

Arduino Lcd

Ladyada posted a thorough tutorial regarding Arduino to LCD wiring –

For a soon-to-be-released project I needed to have a character LCD display. I’ve got a box with a few of those $10 parallel LCDs that are so popular. There’s even a few libraries at the Arduino playground for easy use. Dave Fowler from uCHobby even started out with a great tutorial. However, I didn’t see any good tutorials on how to do the actual -connecting- part. So I took pix while I wired up one to a protoshield and tested it.

Hmm, “soon-to-be-released project” – better make sure I finish up those motor and ethernet shields first. – Hooking up an LCD to an Arduino

In the Maker store:
Mkardie-2
Arduino Diecimila PLUS USB Board, fully assembled

    these can be wired to the arduino with only 1 wire!

    hi, its not an LCD shield. its a tutorial on how to connect an LCD. if you have a parallel LCD but can’t wait a few days to order a special item, then you can do it with some wires. & this tutorial was written so that people can understand how the wiring is done.

    I think that everything published made a great deal of sense. But, what about this? what if you added a little information? I mean, I don’t want to tell you how to run your blog, but what if you added a title to possibly get folk’s attention? I mean MAKE | How To is a little plain. You might look at Yahoo’s front page and note how they create post headlines to get viewers to click. You might add a video or a related picture or two to grab people interested about what you’ve got to say. In my opinion, it could make your posts a little livelier.
