Playing with Nokia LCD 3310

Projects Showcase
1

I spent some hours in playing with the Nokia LCD and some input devices, so I wanted to share that funny thing.
What you need:

  • Breadboard
  • Arduino (I used a nano)
  • Nokia 3310 LCD
  • DS1307 RTC
  • 10kOhm poti
  • Photoresistor and a 620ohm Resi.
  • Some jumper wires

Attach all components like described in the links in the code or Arduino Playground and you should get this funny stuff working well.

I have tried that display and it went bad after a week.
Others have had them turn bad after a day.

The construction is not good.and the rubberstrip on the back looses contact after a while.

If yours work then great.
Its fun to play with.
