Interfacing lcd with arduino
How to interaface lcd (4-bit interface) with arduino?
In this tutorial, we are going to discuss , how to interface lcd with arduino.
We are using 16*2 lcd, means it have two rows and 16 columns. Overall, we can display 32 characters.
Lcd have 16 pins, out of which six are connected to arduino. D4-D7 are data pins. RS, RW and EN pins are also there. RW pin is permanently grounded since we are writing to lcd.
Hope, you had enjoyed the tutorial.

| 16*2 LCD |
Pin no 3 is connected to pot (10k) in order to change the contrast. Pin no 15 and 16 are for backlight.
Since lcd don't have any backlight.
Code:
// include the library code:
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
// initialize the library with the numbers of the interface pins
LiquidCrystal lcd(12, 11, 5, 4, 3, 2);
void setup() {
// set up the LCD's number of columns and rows:
lcd.begin(16, 2);
// Print a message to the LCD.
lcd.print("hello, world!");
}
void loop() {
// set the cursor to column 0, line 1
// (note: line 1 is the second row, since counting begins with 0):
lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
// print the number of seconds since reset:
lcd.print(millis() / 1000);
}
