- LiquidCrystal Library - Custom Characters
-
- Demonstrates how to add custom characters on an LCD display.
- The LiquidCrystal library works with all LCD displays that are
- compatible with the Hitachi HD44780 driver. There are many of
- them out there, and you can usually tell them by the 16-pin interface.
-
- This sketch prints "I <heart> Arduino!" and a little dancing man
- to the LCD.
-
- The circuit:
- * LCD RS pin to digital pin 12
- * LCD Enable pin to digital pin 11
- * LCD D4 pin to digital pin 5
- * LCD D5 pin to digital pin 4
- * LCD D6 pin to digital pin 3
- * LCD D7 pin to digital pin 2
- * LCD R/W pin to ground
- * 10K potentiometer:
- * ends to +5V and ground
- * wiper to LCD VO pin (pin 3)
- * 10K poterntiometer on pin A0
