hey how's it going everyone hope all is good,
I had a question if I may be on the right track to be able to show 4 in 1 current LCD display ill post an attached image to where I found this on you tube how to do so.
the thing that I am trying to achieve is to show Volts, Amperage, Hz and Duty Cycles on the display. if I just change the display icons will that also mean the same thing for each one on this display.
please any help or suggestions please point me to the right direction...
again I'm not a coder or even computer savvy I'm just trying to do something for myself no profit benefit to it.
first attachment what I found on youtube
second picture what I am trying to achieve...

thank you in advance for my ignorance in knowing this stuff just trying to learn this as best as I can thank you again..
I am not sure what you are asking
You need to position the text or icon where you want it 4 times and the corresponding data 4 times. You can print the text or icons once in setup() using the setCursor() function, and the data each time you need to display it using the same function
I think the best thing you can do is get a copy of the Arduino Cookbook and go through it cover to cover. As you go through it try some of the examples. I am confidant by the time you reach the end you will be able to build what you want without any problems.
Your example is showing values for DC, direct current. But your proposed screen shows you are wanting values for AC, alternating current. Where are your AC values coming from? Are you sure there is a reason for wasting time worrying about Hz, when you can just post either 60.0 or 50.0, depending on the country you are from. Any Arduino will not be able to determine the Hz. any better than just putting up the normal value.
I am trying to show the voltage, amps, duty cycle and HZ meaning (hz) would be the follow through on the direct current read out of the motor/load that the LCD will be used to display.
hope that makes sense
I am trying to show from AC to DC in which AC in & linear DC out
Are you using your own generator to supply power to the motor/load? What do you think duty cycle is? Are you using a huge motor with a large load?
