Tutorial 13 for Arduino: Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs)

Correction: “int f = round(c*9.0/5.0 +32.0);” is how it should be in the final example. I forgot the equals sign in the video.

You can download the parts list, code, and schematics from this episode on my website: http://jeremyblum.com/2011/07/31/tutorial-13-for-arduino-liquid-crystal-displays

    @axel1973w I’m really not sure. You? can try some probing, etc, but I doubt you’ll have much luck without finding a spec sheet.

    A few days ago i salvaged a “simple minimalistic LCD display” from an old notebook. One of those “casio watch” non alphanumeric displays. it looked like a glass thingy with through hole about 10 pins on it. BUT it looked like it? DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY CONTROLLER on the part itself. not one of those intelligent displays. i searched internet for pinout or any information about HOW TO DRIVE one of those displays, without luck. using the multimeter i could not figure out what pin does what. any tips?

    Would it be possible for you to do give-a-ways through element-14? Or maybe even another contest? I am an electronics student like you, and I don’t have all the money to pay for my books, and class equipment as well as all of the fun Arduino stuff that you get through your? sponsorship. I know that if I got anything, I would make a project out of it, and share that video with you. I currently only have a Arduino Duemilanova. Please write back. Great vids d:

    Thanks for your effort and the great tutorials! You are really good at teaching and the tutorials are in a perfect pace.

    Still hoping to see a tutorial on GPS, GSM? and IMU modules, even though the latter may be too expensive 🙂

    From what I know, I think the R/W pin on the LCD is used to read data from the LCD when its high.? Thus it facilitates the user to read data from it when its used as a display in safety doors and things like that (When keypads and similar devices are connected as an input device to it). Am I right with this?
