LiquidCrystal Library - Hello World
Demonstrates the use a 16x2 LCD display. The LiquidCrystal
library works with all LCD displays that are compatible with the
Hitachi HD44780 driver. There are many of them out there, and you
can usually tell them by the 16-pin interface.
This sketch prints "Hello World!" to the LCD
and shows the time.
The circuit:
* LCD RS pin to digital pin 12
* LCD Enable pin to digital pin 11
* LCD D4 pin to digital pin 5
* LCD D5 pin to digital pin 4
* LCD D6 pin to digital pin 3
* LCD D7 pin to digital pin 2
* LCD R/W pin to ground
* 10K resistor:
* ends to +5V and ground
* wiper to LCD VO pin (pin 3)

// include the library code:
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
// initialize the library with the numbers of the interface pins
LiquidCrystal lcd(12, 11, 5, 4, 3, 2);
void setup() {
// set up the LCD's number of columns and rows:
lcd.begin(16, 2);
// Print a message to the LCD.
lcd.print("hello, world!");
}
void loop() {
// set the cursor to column 0, line 1
// (note: line 1 is the second row, since counting begins with 0):
lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
// print the number of seconds since reset:
lcd.print(millis()/1000);

Clearly readable and easy to connect.
Very useful in combination with the I2C module.
Then you only need 2 wires.
The I2C module has the contrast pot built in.
Very handy!

I bought this display because I have a project running to build a very compact Watt meter in this housing: http://www.hobbyelectronica.nl/product/behuizing-86-arduino-lcd/
If I were to take this display with i2c, then 8 millimeters would be added to the back of the display, which is undesirable in my case. All components have their advantages. This 1602 display is not only sharply priced, but also compact, bright and very easy to read.

Super handy and nice screen… next time I’ll take the version with i2c to save some pins on my Arduino.
