Add An LCD To Your Project! - The Learning Circuit

We take a look at two different types of monochrome LCD and hook them up to an Arduino. LCDs are useful for when you need to display some information, and with plenty of existing code to help us out, they can be added to almost any Arduino project. Full BOM on element14: bit.ly/2NaD3rc

Great video, and very clearly explained for those just getting into electronics. Nicely done!

[@RoyAntaw]

A basic, practical and useful video. I like to use an I2C interface with my display projects to simplify the wiring as it reduces the number of GPIO connections for the display.Thanks for the useful video. WOW the Learning Circuit site is a great resource I wish I had known about it when I first brought my Arduino and Soldering Iron.

[@moizmughal5363]

Could you experiment touchscreen it would be intresting

[@wd-bs4xz]

Ben Heck fan here! I loved this video.

[@patwicker1358]

Did I miss something or did he gloss over the rest of the wiring? The important part.

[@AirborneSurfer]

Nice and easy, step-by-step introduction to adding more complex hardware to an Arduino project. Thanks, Mike!

[@EdwinNoorlander]

Yes show us a e-paper display.

No flux when soldering?

[@wd-bs4xz]

Anthony Hernandez Solder has some flux in it. Unless you’re soldering surface mount it really isn’t needed. It is nice though.

[@clownisius]

I see in the examples of soldering the ends first, the solder was struggling to stick, a little flux would have made it much faster, and requiring less time exposing the pins to heat. Just pointed it out that in this case the flux would have been a large benefit.

CKT or ckt is the abrevition for circuit.

Time to learn AT&T assembly language for the Arduino

[@Saghetti]

where are you ben heck?!

[@Gunbudder]

Wtf? I never subbed to this channel. Did the Ben heck channel turn into this one?

[@Gunbudder]

@@Retromags_Brian I just went back and found the announcement. I missed it because I wasnt interested in any of the side videos or the last Ben heck project, so I hadn't seen any of his videos in months. It's a damn shame because most of Ben hacks projects were very fascinating

[@mikaelkarlsson9945]

Such a dull brit.. Please give this poor kid a job which he appreciate!

[@lozD83]

why are we whispering?

[@scottreid4637]

There is no passion in this anymore. Ben heck was passionate about his projects but it s now went a very "clinical" way with no emotion or excitement. Also a more in depth aspect is missing..... I would suggest changing some values on the graphics display or showing a graphic and how to do it would have assisted in this video instead of it feeling as though you just plugged in hardware and uploaded code

[@corrupted5071]

We miss all ben sooo much

[@ryanmarren]

I agree. These short explanation/tutorial type videos are pretty far off from the fun multi-step projects that Ben did.

[@BrentWilliams2]

Depends on the host, I think. For me, two of them have a good mix of technical skill and charisma, while the other two seem to only have the technical skill.

[@scottreid4637]

@@johnhdn2667 it's not really..... Its nothing more than a very Basic (and I mean basic) walk through of how to hook an lcd to a breadboard and run a sketch. What about how to upload... How to change the graphics.... Its nothing more than hooking hardware up to a breadboard... Ben had charisma but its not about that... There's no captivating in this and it dis not make me want to do a project. Professional chritasism is helpful if taken in a growth way... But most ppl are bitter about it.

[@BrentWilliams2]

To be fair, the "Learning Circuit" has been a very beginner-level series, previously with Karen. So it isn't intended to be full project like Ben would do.

[@BF4everfly]

What happened to this channel?

[@chrono0097]

Ben quit the show and well, the future of this channel doesn't looks that shinny

[@Symbiiotic]

Unsubbed

[@BobMagana]

Luis Rodriguez great story! Have you sold the movie rights yet?
