Tutorial: How to use LCD 0802 Module Compatible LCD Display Arduino

The LCD 0802 module is an Arduino-compatible display that allows text and simple graph visualization. Ideal for monitoring, control, and user interface projects.

What you need

• Arduino Uno or similar
• USB A-MicroB cable
• 5V power connection

Steps

1. Connect the LCD module to the VCC pin with a 5V power supply.
2. Connect the GND of the LCD module to the Arduino ground.
3. Connect the following pins: RS, E, DB4-DB7 to the Arduino as required by your project (check the datasheet).
4. Download the LiquidCrystal_I2C library from the Arduino Library Manager or from the official website.
5. Insert the following code into your Arduino IDE.
6. Compile and upload the sketch to Arduino. Check that the LCD turns on correctly.
7. Modify the text to display the desired information on the LCD screen.
8. Try adding features such as text scrolling or real-time data display.

Example code

//Includi la libreria LiquidCrystal_I2C
#include <Wire.h>
#include <LiquidCrystal_I2C.h>
//Definisci il display LCD
LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x27,2,1,0x04,5,4,3,2);
void setup() {
  //Inizializza il display LCD
  lcd.begin(8,2);
  //Stampa un messaggio di benvenuto sul display
  lcd.print("Benvenuti!");
}
void loop() {
}

Mini project

Create a simple interface to monitor temperature and humidity with a DHT11 sensor.

Common mistakes

• Do not check the LCD module datasheet.
• Use a voltage different from 5V.
• Connect the RS, E, DB4-DB7 pins incorrectly.
• Forget to install the LiquidCrystal_I2C library.

Recommended accessories

• DHT11 Sensor
• DS3231 RTC Module
• 3.7V LiPo Batteries
• Optocoupled Relay
