Tutorial: How to use the Nokia 5110 LCD 84×84 Display

This module allows you to display text and simple images on a backlit display. Useful for user interface and monitoring projects.

What you need

• Arduino
• 10-pin dual cable
• 1 kΩ resistor (for contrast function)

Steps

1. 1. Installation: Download the ‘Adafruit_GFX’ and ‘Adafruit_PCD8544’ libraries for Arduino.
2. 2. Connection: Connect pins D11, D12, D13, GND, and VCC to your Arduino.
3. 3. Connect the 1 kΩ resistor between VCC and D7.
4. 4. Load the example code.
5. 5. Test the display with the command ‘lcd.print(“Hello, Arduino!”)’.
6. 6. Try to display simple images with ‘lcd.image(0, 0, img, 84, 84);’.
7. 7. Adjust the contrast by varying the resistor.
8. 8. Check the datasheet for further settings.

Example code

```
#include <Adafruit_GFX.h>
#include <Adafruit_PCD8544.h>

Adafruit_PCD8544 lcd = Adafruit_PCD8544(D11, D12, D13, D7);

void setup() {
  lcd.begin();
}

void loop() {
  lcd.print("Ciao, Arduino!");
}
```

Mini project

Create a digital timer with the display showing time in seconds.

Common mistakes

• Forget to connect the contrast resistor.
• Set the pins correctly on Arduino.
