SIMULATION: DISPLAYING SCROLLING TEXT ON LCD WITH ARDUINO (LINE 1 STATIC,
LINE 2 SCROLLING)
Step 1: SOFTWARE
In performing the scrolling text, I opted to use TinkerCad. It is a free online website and
user-friendly for tinkering.
Step 2: COMPONENTS
The materials/components that I will be needing are: Arduino Uno, Resistor, Potentiometer,
LCD, breadboard (these are all readily available in tinkercad).
Step 3: PIN CONFIGURATIONS
For the circuit to work, I assigned LCD pin to be connected to Arduino output pins:
* LCD RS pin to digital pin 12
* LCD Enable pin to digital pin 11
* LCD D4 pin to digital pin 5
* LCD D5 pin to digital pin 4
* LCD D6 pin to digital pin 3
* LCD D7 pin to digital pin 2
* LCD R/W pin to ground
* Resistor:
* ends to +5V and ground
* wiper to LCD VO pin (pin 3)
Step 4: THE CODING
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
//Define or name the pins
#define rs 12
#define en 11
#define d4 5
#define d5 4
#define d6 3
#define d7 2
// initialize the library with the numbers of the interface pins
LiquidCrystal lcd (rs, en, d4, d5, d6, d7);
char text[]="www.microcontroller-project.com";
void setup() {
// set up the LCD's number of columns and rows:
lcd.begin(16,2);
}
void loop() {
unsigned int i=0;
// set the cursor to (0,0):
lcd.setCursor(0, 0);
while(text[i]!='\0'){
lcd.print(text[i]);
if(i>=14)
{
lcd.command(0x18); //Scrolling text to Right
}
delay(50);
i++;
}
// clear screen for the next loop:
lcd.clear();
}
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
#define rs 12
#define en 11
#define d4 5
#define d5 4
#define d6 3
#define d7 2
LiquidCrystal lcd(rs, en, d4, d5, d6, d7);
char * messagePadded = " Thank you for this experience, Sir! God Bless Always! ";
void setup()
{
lcd.begin (16, 2);
lcd.setCursor(0, 0);
lcd.print("Hello Sir Alvin!");
}
void loop()
{
for (int letter = 0; letter <= strlen(messagePadded) - 16; letter++)
{
showLetters(0, letter);
}
}
void showLetters(int printStart, int startLetter)
{
lcd.setCursor(printStart, 1);
for (int letter = startLetter; letter <= startLetter + 15; letter++)
{
lcd.print(messagePadded[letter]);
}
lcd.print(" ");
delay(500);
if(i>=14)
}
