Instead, [Ivan] decided to drive it directly from an Arduino Uno ... RAM and flash. The code is available on Github. If you need inspiration for your own controllerless LCD driver.

It will also provide experience with advanced usage of the 16x2 LCD screen and its scrolling capabilities. Finally, it incorporates using the joystick with the Arduino. The presentation material and ...

To link a standard 16×2 LCD directly with the microcontroller, for instance Arduino, you would need atleast 6 I/O pins to talk to the LCD. However, if you use an LCD module with I2C interface, you ...

[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 ...
