Serial to LCD 16x2

Hi guys and gals

Forgive me if I get something wrong here, first time posting and fairly new to Arduino.

I am trying to get my 16x2 LCD display to print 2 different lines from a .txt file and print them onto each line of the LCD display.

I am sending this over USB to the COM port.

I have set up the Gobetwino rule to read the lines in the .txt file when called upon in the Arduino code.

This .txt file is created using an AutoIt script I made. It took me about a month to finally get the script 100% perfect so now all that is left is the Arduino part.

I have an Arduino UNO R3 and a generic 16x2 LCD shield (works exactly the same as the official Arduino LCD shield, just a bit cheaper and uglier).

I am able to make changes to my script (I.E. adding a character so the Arduino knows where to read to) however I would like to avoid this if possible.

At the moment all I can do is display either the second line or the first line depending on which I declare in the Arduino code.

Can anyone help ?

P.S. I know this sounds really mysterious but once I have got everything figured out and working I will reveal the final project.

Thanks :slight_smile:

Can anyone help ?

Probably not without seeing what you have done so far.
