LCD connect to arduino

Post by achillis1 »

Hello,

I need to connect an Eblock LCD screen to arduino. How do I arrange the pin connections from LCD to arduino? Is the LCD working via a special UART protocols such as SPI or I2C?

Thank you,

Best Regards
Andreas

Hello Andreas,

Are you using one of our Arduino adapter boards or wiring across the signals yourself? The LCD can use any standard I/O pins so andy of the D or A pins should be fine. Maybe avoid D0 and D1 as these are the programming pins and may effect either programming or LCD operation. In practise here the LCD and the programming work together with no real issues.

Hi Andreas,

It should simply just work but let us know if you experience any problems.
