We might think that an AVR microcontroller – e.g. the ATMega328p adopted by the Arduino UNO boards – has the sufficient number of pins to manage an alphanumeric LCD. In a complex industrial machine ...

[Tobie’s] part of the hack is to use an Arduino and a few buttons as the controller. It’s easy to set up and we think the breadboarded controller approximates the size and weight of an LCD ...

The build settles on an Arduino Pro Micro, as it uses the ATmega32U4 which eliminates secondary USB-to-serial chips, helping cut down on power consumption. A square IPS LCD display is used to ...

This module will investigate creating an interactive side-scrolling game using an Arduino. It will also provide experience with advanced usage of the 16x2 LCD screen and its scrolling capabilities.
