Hour 20. Using an LCD

What You’ll Learn in This Hour:

The different types of LCD devices

How to use an LCD with your Arduino

How to use the LCD shield

So far in our experiments, we’ve used the serial monitor output on the Arduino to communicate information from our sketches. That’s an easy way of communicating, but it does limit the use of the Arduino because you must have a computer connected to display the information. You can, however, display ...
