Review: Arduino Based Display Module

There are many types of Displays available for prototype development purposes, viz., simple indicator LED, LED Matrix, FND or 7 Segment LED, LCD, Touch Screens etc. For clear and text based displays known in prototype development industry are LCD displays. They are used in Industrial display boards [such as inside Motor RPM Indicator board or Packer Machine status display boards], in home gadgets such as in microwave ovens, calculators or in laboratory instruments.

ArduinoDisplayModule_2016 

Objective: Constructing a prototype using Arduino board to display data on LCD Display module. Note that the data comes from Arduino board itself, which means data is generated by memory resident program of microcontroller chip. This system can be used as add-on module with any bigger system or prototype board where data is available from other sensors or sources.

 

This add-on module for any system is constructed using Arduino Board, 4-digit FND or 7 Segment LED, FND driver and power supply unit. The constructor can program a simple 2 line scrolling text data generator program to show how display works.

 

The constructer can learn how to use LCD [Liquid Crystal Display] with any microcontroller, software form interfacing technic to show data on it.

 

The LCD type identification is important before designing/constructing this prototype. Keep the datasheet of the chosen LCD side by before coding or constructing system.

 

Applications:

¾    Hand held gadgets, Laboratory Instruments, Microwave Ovens, Calculators, and Indicator Boards etc.
