LCD status display
Show text, sensor values, and project status on the 16x2 display. In this project the potentiometer is used for LCD contrast.
What you build in this project
LCD status display is one focused build from the Arduino UNO Sensor & Output Starter Kit - LEDs, Buzzer, Servo, Ultrasonic & LCD. It uses the parts listed below to make a working electronics example, then you can combine it with the other projects in the kit.
Show text, sensor values, and project status on the 16x2 display. In this project the potentiometer is used for LCD contrast.
Parts used
UNO R3, LCD1602 display, 10K potentiometer, resistor pack, breadboard, jumper wires
What to check
Wire the parts, upload the sketch from the kit page, then test this project by watching the Serial Monitor or the output behavior.
What you learn
You learn how the controller reads real sensor signals, makes a decision in code, and turns that result into a useful output.
What this project uses
Every item is in the kit — nothing extra to buy.
