Section 5.3 - LCDs
Some Cool Visualizations
This lesson introduces you to LCDs (Liquid Crystal Displays), focusing on their structure and function in electronic projects. Through slides, you’ll gain a conceptual understanding of how LCDs work, including how electrical signals control liquid crystals to display text and graphics. Special attention is given to the multiple pins required to operate the display, covering what each pin does and why they’re essential to LCD functionality. In the CAD section, you’ll wire an LCD to an Arduino and write code to display information on the screen. This hands-on practice will help solidify your understanding of both the setup and programming required to incorporate LCDs into projects, equipping you to display real-time data effectively.
