Consider the meet and greet session done; urgent situation here...
Here's my incomplete sketch/coding for (yes I know, a very easy-peasy one, even Google laughed at it) an LCD display program without the integration of a potentiometer since I've substituted it with the PWM mechanism created using Arduino MEGA 2560:
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
char ch;
int Contrast=15;
const byte LCD_WIDTH = 20;
const String msg = "SEBASTIAN LEE, HILLARY CLINTON, DONALD TRUMP"; //my name, and both their names duh as quick specimens
LiquidCrystal lcd(8, 9, 4, 5, 6, 7);
void setup() {
analogWrite(0,Contrast);
}
void loop(){
lcd.begin(16, 2);
lcd.print("Smart-Solar");
lcd.setCursor(0,1);
lcd.print("Surveillance");
lcd.setCursor(13,1);
lcd.print(".");
delay(1200);
lcd.setCursor(14,1);
lcd.print(".");
delay(1200);
lcd.setCursor(15,1);
lcd.print(".");
delay(6000);
lcd.clear();
lcd.setCursor(4,0);
lcd.print("+ Security");
delay(5000);
lcd.clear();
lcd.setCursor(4,1);
lcd.blink();
lcd.setCursor(5,1);
lcd.print("by");
delay(6000);
lcd.clear();
}
So question is (so sound and polite answers are expected), what more am I missing? How do I put "a line of text running leftward over a specific rate or period of time" into computer words as comprehended by the Arduino IDE? I really appreciate your help professional aid to a somewhat newbie who is obligated to accomplish this astronomical project complement, guys!
Thousand thanks,
SEBASTIAN
