Please accept my noobishness,
This is my first attempt for an LCD to display temps of pc stuff and temps of radiator.
the screen cycles for 3 sec's, then prints the next screen for 3-4 sec's and so on...
I accidentally shorted the LCD backlight and it farted, oops, smelly
I had to put a torch next to it to see the display easier
I wish they wouldn't glue the polarizer to the lcd I could flip it over to display negative, ahh well..
I have to now design some code to actually measure those temps this is just the start anyways
here's the code if you want :
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
LiquidCrystal lcd(12, 11, 5, 4, 3, 2);
void setup() {
lcd.begin(16, 2); // set up the LCD's number of rows and columns:
}
void loop(){
lcd.setCursor(0, 0); // Set the cursor to the beginning
lcd.clear(); //this prevents previous data from still being displayed after loop
lcd.print("CPU 24");
lcd.print((char)223); // this is a DEGREE SYMBOL
lcd.print(" HDD 25");
lcd.print((char)223); // this is a DEGREE SYMBOL
lcd.setCursor(0, 1); //prints the second line
lcd.print("GPU 32");
lcd.print((char)223); // this is a DEGREE SYMBOL
lcd.print(" RAM 32");
lcd.print((char)223); // this is a DEGREE SYMBOL
delay(4000);
//this is the next screen with screen clear
lcd.setCursor(0, 0); // Set the cursor to the beginning
lcd.clear(); //this prevents previous data from still being displayed
lcd.print("RADIATOR 1 42");
lcd.print((char)223); // this is a DEGREE SYMBOL
lcd.setCursor(0, 1); //prints the second line
lcd.print("RADIATOR 2 43");
lcd.print((char)223);
delay(3000);
}
//end
===================
:o
I am soooo glad the great folks designed the Arduino !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I been waiting for this a long time..
