6th May– As last week we were tasked to do some basic research to answer 3 question and get a rough idea on Arduino LCD Libraries.

  1. What are they? – Libraries are files written in C or C++ (. c, . cpp) which provide your sketches with extra functionality
  2. What are they for? – a library allows an Arduino board to control LiquidCrystal displays
  3. Where should you put them?

Where Library’s are added

After that we moved onto a how to wire up the LCD display to the Arduino. it was simple enough to do but there was a slight confusion because i had different wires that didn’t follow the colours outlined on the word document.

Then similar to last week loaded the code, but before the code would work i added the LiquidCrystal_I2C.h library. to provide the sketch with extra functionality that works with the LCD.
