Here is a cool program for controlling a small LCD screen using an Atmel Mega16 Microcontroller.
…Today you can rarely see an electronic device without a LCD display, even new fridges have it. It is pretty useful to know how to use some with your device. I will show you how to connect a LCD with a Microcontroller. smile
When you see all these weird code names please don’t get scared, they are just names like John, Michael and etc…
Most of the characters LCDs run on a HD44780 controller so I used one from Seiko, the Seiko L2022. You can get this one or other LCDs from www.shopeio.com. You can get such LCDs for less than 5$. To control this LCD I preprogrammed an ATMEL AVR ATMega 16 microcontroller (MCU).
I had to use my Weller solder iron, my STK500 ATMEL AVR programmer and a loupe…[Link] Thanks Rafik!
