Arduino Printing to LCD from Serial Port

Help Please,
I am trying to get my Arduino to print out on an LCD screen attached to the Arduino but all it is doing is printing to the serial port. I want to be able to enter something in the serial port text box and have it print onto the LCD screen?

Hello and welcome :slight_smile:

Show your code and we might be able to help :slight_smile:

Sorry I forgot some of my code...

#include <LiquidCrystal.h>

LiquidCrystal lcd(8, 9, 4, 5, 6, 7);

void setup() {

Serial.begin(9600);

lcd.begin(16, 2);
lcd.setCursor(0, 0);

}

void loop(){

//set text alignment to left as default
if( alignLEFT ) {
if (!hideTop) lcd.print("Date");
lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
if (!hideBot) lcd.print("Nov. 19th");
}
//set text alignment to the right
if( alignRIGHT ){
if (!hideTop) lcd.print(" Date");
lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
if (!hideBot)lcd.print(" Nov. 19th");
}

delay(3000);
lcd.clear();
lcd.setCursor(0, 0);
}

Where are alignLEFT, alignRIGHT, hideTop and hideBot defined or updated?
