Interfacing LCD with CloudX Board

To have a good relationship between human world and machine world, display units plays a vital part. Displays allows us to know what’s happening in a device like the voltage, temperature, present status of the device and even device fault detection etc. LCD's have a very wide application in embedded systems and it is more preferred than seven segment displays. Alphanumeric LCDs are most commonly used in embedded projects since it is commonly available and easy to...

Calculator using Arduino Uno

Arduino Uno has always helped to build projects easily and make them look more attractive. In this project, we are going to make an Arduino Uno calculator which will take the values from user by using the 4X4 keypad and then will perform the calculations to get the result. After calculating the result, it will print those calculated values on Nokia 5110 LCD. This Arduino Uno based calculator can perform four operations which are addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Digital Thermometer using Arduino and DS18B20 Sensor

In this project, we are going to make a Digital Thermometer using Arduino Uno. We will use DS18B20 temperature sensor to sense the temperature and Nokia 5110 LCD to display it. DS18B20 is a 1-Wire digital temperature sensor manufactured by Maxim Integrated and is capable of reporting degree celsius with 9 ~ 12 bit precision.

LCD Display – Fundamentals

LCD Glass Panel - Liquid Crystal Display LCD or Liquid Crystal Display is a flat electronic display which is very commonly used in digital watches, calculators, laptops, televisions etc. It make use of light modulating properties of  liquid crystal and polarization of light for its operation. Low power consumption, less thickness and less weight of LCD enables its use in battery powered and portable applications.

Prerequisites

Light is an electromagnetic radiation which stimulates sight and make things visible. It is produced by vibration...

Custom Characters on LCD using PIC – MPLAB XC8

I hope that you already go through our tutorial, Interfacing LCD with PIC Microcontroller - MPLAB XC8. HD44780 compatible controllers used in these LCDs allows us to define 8 custom characters in addition to the standard pre-programmed characters. In this tutorial we will learn, how to create custom characters on LCD using PIC Microcontroller and MPLAB XC8 compiler.

Interfacing LCD with Arduino Uno

16x2 character LCD display is a very basic LCD module which is commonly used in electronic projects. 16x2 means it can display 2 rows of 16 characters (columns). Its other variants such as 16x1, 16x4 etc are also available. These LCDs are usually made using HD44870 compatible controllers. In this tutorial we will see how to interface a 16x2 Character LCD display with Arduino Uno development board. Arduino provides built in libraries for interfacing HD44870 compatible LCDs. 16x2 LCD Pin...

Interfacing LCD with PIC Microcontroller – Hi Tech C

16x2 Character LCD is a very basic LCD module which is commonly used in electronics projects and products. It contains 2 rows that can display 16 characters. Each character is displayed using 5x8 or 5x10 dot matrix. It can be easily interfaced with a microcontroller. In this tutorial we will see how to write data to an LCD with PIC Microcontroller using Hi-Tech C Compiler. Hi-Tech C has no built in LCD libraries so we require the hardware knowledge of...
