Overview LCD, Potentiometer & LDR

In this lesson, we will learn how to measure the
light intensity by photoresistor and make the
16 x 2 LCD measurement result displayed on the LCD1602.

Requirement
 1 Arduino UNO
 1 USB Cable Principle
 1 LCD1602 A photoresistor is a light-controlled variable
 1 Photoresistor resistor. The resistance of a photoresistor
 1 10KΩ Resistor decreases with the increasing incident light
 1 10KΩ Potentiometer intensity; in other words, it exhibits
 1 Breadboard photoconductivity. A photoresistor can be
 Several Jumper Wires applied in light-sensitive detector circuits.

 Step for Circuit Connection

In this program we are turn on and off the backlight by supplying it with 5V
and a potentiometer to control contrast. It has a total number of 16 pins
altogether.

LCD Pin to Arduino Pin 8(D1) => NC

1(Vss) => GND 9(D2) => NC
2(Vdd) => +5V 10(D3) => NC
3(Vee) => Middle pin of potentiometer 11(D4) => digital pin 10
4(RS) => digital pin 8 12(D5) => digital pin 11
5(RW) => GND 13(D6) => digital pin 12
6(E) => digital pin 9 14(D7) => digital pin 13
7(D0) => NC(not connected) 15(A) => +5V
16(K) => GND
