Hi First an admission. I am far too old to be doing this stuff but it is much more fun than playing computer games! I have read quite a number "cries for help" about 16,2 LCDs. Thanks to Paul McWhorter I have managed to get one functioning as I want. I have a very specific need for one in a proj…

[image] bperrybap: you can't really call it a library "manager" when you have no ability to remove/uninstall an installed library. That's why the new 2.0 version is so good... You can do both in it! :partying_face::partying_face:

Hi This has been a wonderfully informative discussion for me. It was difficult to post the question that kicked it off. As somebody who is not only over the hill, but halfway down the other side, I spend a lot of time feelling as dumb as a brick. And I don't want to breach the Forum's rules but I…

[image] woodie84: And I don't want to breach the Forum's rules but I do have another question. Can I simply ask it or do I need to start another topic? If it's unrelated to the LCD, start a new topic. Else stay here. [image] woodie84: I am curious to know what hardware is best to set up …

Interconnects are the biggest stumbling block to stable, long term operation. You have to use screw terminals instead of DuPont connectors for IO and power connects. https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub/madmark2150/perf-panel-paired-power-plug-piggyback-for-mega-2560-uno-67d604 Mounting is another…

Hi Thanks for the tips and your pictures which are a big help because I am now starting to think about moving from the breadboard to hardwired hardware. I am yet to successfully get my head around using CNC. I do a lot of wood and metal turning because my hobby is designing and building electromagn…

Glad to help. TinkerCAD is free easy to learn for 3D printing. It's for KIDS on the STEM track. It even has LEGO mode! LOL NanoCAD is an autoCAD workalike that is free. There are programs that can convert .DXF (Drawing eXchange Format - spoken by most all CAD programs) files into GCODE that the CN…

Thanks very much for that because it is exactly what I will be looking for next. I am never going to be a "programmer" I just want to be able to get some fun bits and pieces to work and Arduino is ideal for my needs. I love your power boards. I have already located some youtubes on Tinkercad that…

I have just had a look at Tinkercad which is new to me. It looks fantastic. It may be directed at kids but it will be ideal for an old bloke like me. Incidentally, I do have a Webpage that is very out of date but gives you an idea of what I like to do. Let me know if it is likely to be of interest…

Why is it that getting a simple LCD 1602 is so much easier that one with a i2c adapter
