Using Nokia 5110 LCD module as Arduino project display

On previous post we learn how to use LCD as Arduino project display. Another common display for Arduino project is Nokia 5110 LCD. The LCD is the same display used for legendary Nokia 3310 phone. The driver use PCD8544 controller by Phillips. It has nice contrast and also led backlight. Here the example on my project.

After doing research on google, finally I can make this display works.

Wiring
For this type on the back has pin descriptions.

The wiring need 5 pinS connected to arduino. Here the connection from LCD to Arduino. All pin used is digital pins. See top picture for pinouts.

RST <----> PIN 12
CE <----> PIN 11
DC <----> PIN 10
DIN <----> PIN 9
CLK <----> PIN 8
VCC <----> 3.3v
BL <----> 3.3v (backlight)
GND <----> GND

Libraries

Install Adafruit GFX library and Adafruit PCD8544 Nokia 5110 LCD library using libraries manager.

Testing

Download and upload this sketch to Arduino from my github here https://github.com/satujamsaja/Arduino/tree/master/lcd5110 .My other sketch to display temperature, humidity and pressure also available for download at https://github.com/satujamsaja/Arduino/tree/master/dht22bmp280lcd5110

Good Luck.

Using LCD 2004a I2C on project with Arduino

On previous post measurement sensor results displayed on serial monitor. This is good when we are on development stage. When we want something more independent we need external display. I have purchased a few type of display. For now we will use LCD 2004 for external display.

Arduino : Controlling PL9823-F8 RGB LED

I have great passion about electronics since I was in middle school then high school. With some of my school friend that has same passion in electronics, we built radio transmitter so we can communicate each other at anytime. It was so cool back then. Thats why I took study on electrical Engineering. Instead of working on Electrical engineering field, I end up become web programmer. Something I found interesting when i was in college. That's old story. But lately I get bored and try to get another hobby. I have many hobbies and creating electronics stuff is one of it. So I bought my self Arduino Uno and few electronic components to get started learning Arduino programming. So my first project is controlling RGB Led. Here what you need: Arduino Uno with usb data cable and Arduino IDE Install Adafruit Neopixel library 3 PL9823 RGB led Breadboard Jumper cables (mostly male to male) First you need to install Arduino IDE. You can download it here . That would depend

Read temperature and barometric pressure from GY BMP 280 using Arduino

This sensor based on BMP 280 digital pressure sensor made by Bosch. You can find the complete datasheet here . This small sensor is quite impressive with it's accuracy. It claimed to be ±1 hPa in measuring barometric pressure, ±1.0°C in temperature measurement and ±1 meter in altitude accuracy. Pretty impressive right ?
