Arduino hello world again


After what seems like ages I have finally got down to doing stuff on my arduino.

The one thing that I have been meaning to do for ages is to get a LCD I have working , its a simple character based LCD (which has 2 rows I think). This makes doing a hello world app quite simple to do and it actually write out ‘hello world’ :).

I have had most of the components for this project for ages (minus the potentiometer). While I dont have much advice to give on this subject (mostly because I dont want to re write something that is already out there and done extremely well) you can find the equivalent tutorial of what I have done at ladyada’s site.

Here are couple of images I managed to take of the end result 1 2 3

From here I hope to finally incorporate this into my universal remote control so that I know which device I am controlling.

If you find any issues please catch me in #zacon on atrum or on twitter(@RC1140).
