  1. using a parallax serial LCD with an Arduino living with the lab Parallax 4x20 LCD (part number 27979) with Arduino Duemilanove

  2. living with the lab LCD wiring RX = wire to receive serial data from Arduino 5V = power wire GND = ground wire a servo extension is handy for wiring the LCD to the Arduino

  3. living with the lab Arduino wiring TX = wire to transmit serial data from digital I/O pin to LCD ground 5V power

  4. living with the lab LCD and Arduino together

  5. living with the lab Programming Text: “Louisiana Tech University” is displayed, with character locations chosen to center the text on the first two lines of the LCD Integers: The text “i=“ is printed followed by an integer that varies from 1 to 10 Floating Point Numbers: The text “x=“ is printed followed by a number with four numerals printed to the right of the decimal; the value here ranges from 0.0010 to 0.0100

  6. living with the lab row 0, position 3 Cursor Position & Printing to the 4x20 LCD Serial.write(131); // move cursor to row 0 position 3 Serial.write("Louisiana Tech"); // print “Louisiana Tech” at (0,3) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 0 1 2 3

  7. living with the lab Setting the Communication Rate The dip switches on the back of the LCD are set to SW1=off and SW2=on. This causes the LCD to look for data arriving at a rate of 9600 bits per second. The sketch must include . . . . . . so that the Arduino will know to send data to the LCD at a rate of 9600 bits per second. Serial.begin(9600);

  8. A Complete Sketch living with the lab This sketch does not require a special library (only the Serial commands commonly used in sketches) /*****************************************************************************/ /* David Hall September 2012 */ /* Example program using a Parallax 4x20 LCD to output text and numbers. */ /* The following screen is printed: */ /* */ /* --------------------- */ /* | Louisiana Tech | */ /* | University | */ /* | | */ /* | i=8 x=0.0080 | where 1<=i<=10 and 0.0000<=x<=0.0100 */ /* --------------------- */ /* */ /* The program prints out both integers and floating point numbers.

Custom characters and other features are available for this LCD. When developing your sketch, print things to the LCD screen only once if they do not change. For example, the text in this sketch is printed once in setup(), while the variables are printed repeatedly in loop(). void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); // use a baud rate of 9600 bps pinMode(1,OUTPUT); // set pin1 as an output (pin1=TX) Serial.write(12); // clear screen & move to top left position Serial.write(131); // move cursor to row 0, position 3 Serial.write("Louisiana Tech"); // print a text string starting at (0,3) Serial.write(153); // move cursor to row 1, position 5 Serial.write("University"); // print a text string starting at (1,5) Serial.write(190); // move cursor to row 3, position 2 Serial.write("i= x="); // print text string at (3,2) Serial.write(22); // turn cursor off to keep screen clean } void loop() { float x=0.0; for (int i=1;i<=10;i++) { x=x+0.0010; // add 0.001 to variable x Serial.write(192); // move cursor to row 3, position 4 Serial.print(i); // print i at the current cursor position Serial.write(" "); // print blanks to cover previous printing Serial.write(200); // move cursor to row 3, position 12 Serial.print(x,4); // print x to 4 decimal places delay(1000); // delay 1 second between printing numbers } }
