greetings..

I tried to make LCD read the serial data via force resistive sensor, im getting the output on serial monitor, but for somereason LCD is showing giberish.

im using 9600 baud rate, do i have to change it ? or is it something else ?

Help please.

Code! Picture!

int forcepin = A0; // force resistive sensor

#include <LiquidCrystal.h>

LiquidCrystal lcd(12, 11, 5, 4, 3, 2);

void setup(){

lcd.begin(16, 2);

Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode (forcepin, INPUT);}

void loop()
{

int force = analogRead(forcepin);
delay(200);
Serial.println (force, DEC);

if (Serial.available()) {
lcd.write(Serial.read());
}
}

No wonder the LCD is printing random stuff. lcd.write() takes ASCII or character code. You should use lcd.print() instead.
