Arduino LCD display for Tinkerers
At the first Tinkerers meeting, I will be demonstrating a simple Arduino UNO connected to a 16x2 LCD and set up to print a message
I have previously made a board with the LCD soldered up with right angle pin headers and also added a Potentiometer, (to control the LCD) this makes it much easier to wire up to an Arduino. As most of the work is done. I made the board using a prototyping board that is in the same layout as a standard size breadboard and soldered the required components on. The advantage with this is that if I wanted to connect to a Raspberry Pi, it should be a case of replacing the M/F Dupont wires with F/F Dupont wires.
So using instructions here which also includes how to connect everything up.
A few photos of the project.
This is my soldered up display board, with potentiometer and pin headers. Makes it easier to wire up.

Finally the Arduino UNO used to run the code to control the LCD.
