After studying the content of these projects, you will be able to:

• Explain the basics of an LCD display and how it operates.

• Design the electrical LCD interface to a microcontroller.

• Compile multiple-file projects integrating LCD peripheral C libraries.

• Enhance projects from previous units with an LCD for printing ASCII static messages.

• Print numerical dynamic data on the LCD.

• Use a variable (var_LCD_flag) to print only when there is new information.

• Use <stdio.h> functions to format strings of characters.

• Print dynamic data from several types (int, double int, float) on the screen.

• Optional: connect an LCD to a microcontroller PIC18F46K22 or Arduino (ATmega328P) using the 2-wire I2C interface.
