Hey there! 👋 I'm thrilled to share my latest Arduino project featuring an alphanumeric LCD display (LCD1602). This project allowed me to dive into the world of hardware and microcontrollers, creating a cool display that showcases personalized messages.
Project Highlights: Display Features: The LCD1602 module has a vibrant LED backlight and can show two rows of up to 16 characters each. It's perfect for presenting text messages in a clean and readable format.
Arduino Uno Magic: Utilizing an Elegoo Uno R3, I connected the LCD display along with a potentiometer for contrast adjustment. The result? A neat and functional setup that's both fun and educational.
Completed Code: The provided Arduino code, inspired by the LiquidCrystal library, demonstrates the display's capabilities. It prints a welcoming message and interesting facts about me, updating every few seconds.
Project Overview: In this project, I successfully wired up and utilized the LCD display to print custom messages using Arduino Uno. The display has an LED backlight, and I even incorporated a potentiometer to control the contrast. The code included in this repository demonstrates how to set up the hardware and display messages on the LCD.
Completed Features: Display "Hello,Linkedin!" on the LCD screen upon startup. Periodically change messages on the screen to showcase personal details. Easily customizable code for your own messages and display configurations.
