This shield consists of three logical parts: - 1602LCD with HD4780 Dot Matrix Liquid Crystal Display Controller/Driver. - 6 button keypad. - Analog pins, 5V and GND pass through. Additional ...

I set about making a LCD Shield to go on top of a standard Arduino. The circuit uses a 16x2 LCD with the common 44780 chipset. To save on pins this is then run through a 4094 8-Bit Shift Register.

[Andy Brown] wrote in to show off the TFT LCD adapter he’s been working on for connecting inexpensive displays to an Arduino Mega. These TFT LCD screens can be picked up on eBay for a few dollars.

The folks over at NKC electronics didn’t waste any time with this one. They sent in the MEGA shield for the Arduino MEGA. We just posted the story of the Arduino MEGA yesterday, so that was p… ...

Some of the parts you will require include an Arduino Mega 2560, 2.4 inch TFT touch Screen LCD with inbuilt SD Card Slot, 4GB MicroSDHC, 20 Pin ZIF Socket and others.

The associated demonstration code continually streams increasing integer values through the Arduino UART to the transmitter, and receives them back via the fibre link. “To show this running, we put a ...
