Introduction

Name of Experiment: LCD Display

Exp No: 2

Background: Student should have a basic knowledge of Arduino software & Arduino programming.

Summary: After going through this experiment, student should be able to display the text on LCD display.

Learning Objective: To understand the interfacing of LCD with Intel Galileo Gen1.

Target

Target Platform:This experiment is tested on Intel Galileo Board Gen1 using Arduino software.

Procedure

Step1. Download and Install the Arduino IDE for Intel Galileo Gen 1 from the following link: https://communities.intel.com/docs/DOC-22226.
Step2. Connect the Galileo Board with System through USB Port and then install & update the drivers for that particular connected USB Port.
Step3. Install & Update the drivers for USB Port accordingly given in the link below: https://communities.intel.com/docs/DOC-22872
Step4. Open Arduino IDE>Tools>Serial Port>Select the defined Port for the connected USB.
Step5. Arduino IDE>Tools>Board>Select Intel Galileo Board.
Step6. Update the firmware by going to Help -> Firmware Update.
Step7. Select File> New for creating a new project.
Step8. Type the code in Arduino IDE.
Step9. Make the connections as shown in the snapshot.
Step10. Save the project by using File>save.
Step11. Finally Compile and run the project by selecting File>upload. Once the transfer will be completed, LCD will display the text "IGDTUW".

SourceCode

Source 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("IGDTUW");

}



void loop() {

  // Turn off the cursor:

  lcd.noCursor();

  delay(500);

   // Turn on the cursor:

  lcd.cursor();

  delay(500);

}

Snapshots

Observation

Observation: It is observed that the text "IGDTUW" is displayed on the LCD screen as shown in the snapshot.
