There are many of them aut there, and you can usvallytelthem by the 16-pin interface, This example sketch shows how to use the dsplay() and noDisplay() methods to turn on and off the display. The text tobe displayed ill stil be preserves when you use noDisplay() sa isa quick way to blank the display without losing everything anit Hardware Required = Arduino of Genuine Board = LCD Screen (compatible with Hitachi HD44780 driver) = pin headers to solder to the LCD display pins = 10k ohm potentiow = 20.chm resistor = hook-up wites = breadboard CircuitBefore wiring the LCD screen to your Arduina or Genuino board we suggest to solder a pin header strip tothe 14 (or 16) in count connector of the LCD sereen, as you can seein the image above. Towire your LCO screen to your board, connect the following pins = LED RS pinto digital pin 12 = LeD Enable pin to digital pin = LCD D4 pinto cigital pins = LCD DS pin to digital pin 4 = LCD DS pin to aigital pina = Led D7 pin to digital pin 2 ‘Additionally, wire a10« pot to +5V and GND, with i's wiper (output) to LCD screens VO pin (pin).
