i have only been programming for one month , but have a question ..
what would be involved , if i wanted to display a b/w logo on a 1602 lcd screen..
would it even be possible to do ???
i have a turnigy 9xr rc transmitter and have a custom splash screen on start up ..
i would like to reproduce it on the arduino uno
It's based on alphanumeric characters, but its character generator has some interesting icons. You can define eight only characters of your own.
Look at the characters in the datasheet, see what you can build out of them and that extra eight.
Forget it.
Get a Graphic display.

You must create custom characters and then show it. Here is XLS to help:

With a 16x2 chararacter display this is about the best you will be able to do:

Which gives you 20x16 pixels with some gaps.
Not much but you might be able do something with that.
