"Good idea on separate contrast and backlight controls.
I was a little concerned that the timing would get hosed and one or both displays would have garbage on them, but now that I think about it, I don't think the Arduino "listens" to…"

PMH replied to Jonathan Dean's discussion Two LCDs in Parallel?"Never tried it, but the Arduino should have plenty of drive to control two displays assuming you are talking low cost 2x16 displays. Use separate controls for contrast and backlight."
Jonathan Dean posted a discussionTwo LCDs in Parallel?
If I hook two LCDs to an Arduino to one set of pins (so each Arduino digital pin has two wires going to two LCDs), would they work? I want to LCDs to display the same thing, but I also need six digital inputs for buttons; being able to control two LCDs from one set of pins would make it easier for me (rather than setting up a resistor network for the buttons or a parallel to serial converter).Any ideas or suggestions?See More

Jonathan Dean replied to Michael G's discussion 7 Segment Display"According to the datasheet for the LED driver/decade counters and the fact that you only have one data wire makes me think that the yellow wire should be connected to the CLOCK pin of one of the 4033B chips "The counter is…"

Jonathan Dean replied to Michael G's discussion 7 Segment Display"What does the bottom of the board look like? Are the two power and ground wires common? I haven't had a chance to look up the details on the ICs yet, but what I would do is trace back the leads from the ribbon to the LEDs to find…"

Arduino Seconds Timer
"That's pretty much my experience as well. Programming is fun, but being able to interact with things outside of the computer is pretty awesome."
Jonathan Dean commented on John Malone's photoArduino Seconds Timer
"Given that you were able to hook it all up and go so far as to make a functional UI with an LCD and a few buttons, I'd say you've gotten the hang of it! Do you have a lot of programming experience?"
Jonathan Dean replied to abhishek yadav's discussion 16*2 lcd not working arduino leonardo"I just tried my LCD to see what happens. If the LCD and backlight are powered, the contrast pot doesn't do anything and the display is just blank (exactly what yours is doing). I suppose that means that the Arduino isn't…"

"That's very cool, and using the faceplace makes it look nice and finished. Nice job!"
Jonathan Dean replied to abhishek yadav's discussion 16*2 lcd not working arduino leonardo"Well, it looks like all of the pins go to the right places. Does the screen light up when you power it on? Do you see one line blacked out and the other not? What happens when you sweep the pot from one extreme to the other?…"

Jonathan Dean replied to abhishek yadav's discussion 16*2 lcd not working arduino leonardo"Have you got your contrast pot hooked up? If it's hooked up correctly, you should see an effect when you turn it even if nothing is displayed. If that's working, try resetting the Arduino a time or two. If it still…"
