LCD Displays

<^< Set up the Equipment | Course Index | Adding the LCD component >^>(:nl:)

Flowcode comes with a number of components that add commonly used systems to Flowcode, such as the LCD display, a 7-segment display, or analogue inputs.

In this section we will look at the first one of these - the LCD display.

The LCD display is the basic text display that you see on a lot of electronics equipment, from calculators to mobile phones. You can display text or numbers on one or more rows of the display.

For most PICmicro programming languages the LCD is often one of the last things you learn as it is quite complicated to get working. However, in Flowcode you don't need to know what goes on under the hood, and the LCD is simple to use.

The LCD display we will be looking at here is the one used on the EB005 LCD display. The LCD display is a two row, sixteen character display. (:nl:)(:table style="clear:both":)
