This week we are going to show how simple it is use an LCD with an Arduino. We will use the LCD in future episodes to output information from Sensors and for debugging other applications.

We will give you a schematic so you can quickly connect an LCD to your Arduino. You will learn how to scroll text, blink text and much more.
