19b LCD Display 1602

This document discusses using autoscroll and noAutoscroll methods to control text movement on an LCD display. It provides an example sketch that prints numbers from 0-9 with autoscroll off and on to demonstrate how autoscroll moves the text left each time a new character is added. The document also provides the hardware and code needed to interface an LCD display with an Arduino board.

LCD 1602 - Autoscroll

The Liquid Crystal Library allows you to control LCD displays that are


compatible with the Hitachi HD44780 driver. There are many of
them out there, and you can usually tell them by the 16-pin
interface.

This example sketch shows how to use the autoscroll() and


noAutoscroll() methods to move all the text on the display left or
right.

autoxscroll() moves all the text one space to the left each time a
letter is added

noAutoscroll() turns scrolling off

This sketch prints the characters 0 to 9 with autoscroll off, then


moves the cursor to the bottom right, turns autoscroll on, and prints
them again.

Hardware Required
 Arduino or Genuino Board
 LCD Screen (compatible with Hitachi HD44780 driver)
 pin headers to solder to the LCD display pins
 10k ohm potentiometer
 220 ohm resistor
 hook-up wires
 breadboard

Circuit
Before wiring the LCD screen to your Arduino or Genuino board we suggest to solder
a pin header strip to the 14 (or 16) pin count connector of the LCD screen, as you can
see in the image above.

To wire your LCD screen to your board, connect the following pins:
 LCD RS pin to digital pin 12
 LCD Enable pin to digital pin 11
 LCD D4 pin to digital pin 5
 LCD D5 pin to digital pin 4
 LCD D6 pin to digital pin 3
 LCD D7 pin to digital pin 2

Additionally, wire a 10k pot to +5V and GND, with it's wiper (output) to LCD screens
VO pin (pin3). A 220 ohm resistor is used to power the backlight of the display,
usually on pin 15 and 16 of the LCD connector

Schematic
Code
// include the library code:
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>

// initialize the library by associating any needed LCD interface pin


// with the arduino pin number it is connected to
const int rs = 12, en = 11, d4 = 5, d5 = 4, d6 = 3, d7 = 2;
LiquidCrystal lcd(rs, en, d4, d5, d6, d7);

void setup() {
  // set up the LCD's number of columns and rows:
  lcd.begin(16, 2);
}

void loop() {
  // set the cursor to (0,0):
  lcd.setCursor(0, 0);
  // print from 0 to 9:
  for (int thisChar = 0; thisChar < 10; thisChar++) {
    lcd.print(thisChar);
    delay(500);
  }

  // set the cursor to (16,1):


  lcd.setCursor(16, 1);
  // set the display to automatically scroll:
  lcd.autoscroll();
  // print from 0 to 9:
  for (int thisChar = 0; thisChar < 10; thisChar++) {
    lcd.print(thisChar);
    delay(500);
  }
  // turn off automatic scrolling
  lcd.noAutoscroll();

  // clear screen for the next loop:


  lcd.clear();
}
