This sketch should be intended as a modificable skeleton, where you should add your program; the skeleton sketch, when compiled for Arduino UNO or Arduino Duemilanove ... assigned to the LCD Display ...

[Ivan]’s LCD was ... The display featured no onboard controller, and the original driver wasn’t easily repurposed. Instead, [Ivan] decided to drive it directly from an Arduino Uno.

Assume that you are moving towards a complex microcontroller project bundled with blinkers, beepers, and a display panel. To link a standard 16×2 LCD directly with the microcontroller, for instance ...

Normally driving an LCD requires seven connections to pins on the display, but by using a shift register, [Phillip Warner] at Arduino Playground was able to drive an LCD using only 3 wires.

For the micro-controller part of the project I used an old Arduino Uno development board that had been collecting dust in a drawer and combined it with a £2.50 16×2 LCD screen I had previously ...
