How to connect and program LCD 1602 to Arduino | Beginner's Step-by-Step Tutorial

Procedure/Steps in Connecting LCD 1602 to Microcontroller Board Arduino
00:19 Introduction: When to use Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)?
01:16 Step 01 Supply the breadboard with Arduino 5V Power and GND
01:33 Step 02 Connect the LCD's GND or VSS to the breadboard ground, and the LCD's VDD to the breadboard's power line.
01:39 Connect the LCD VDD pin to 5V
01:53 Step 04 Connect the LCD BackLight Anode pin to 5V power line in series with [220 ohms, 100K ohms] resistor.
02:13 Step 05 Connect LCD Cathode Pin to voltage low and control the LCD contrast V0 pin using potentiometer.
02:36 Step 06 Connect LCD Register Select RS pin to Arduino Digital Pin 12.
02:59 Step 07 Connect LCD Read/Write RW Pin to GND; Voltage High means Read and Voltage Low means Write.
03:09 Step 08 Connect LCD Enable Pin E to Arduino Digital Pin 11 to initiate LCD to receive instructions.
03:26 Step 09 Connect the last four LCD data bus ( D4, D5, D6, D7 ) to Arduino Digital Pins 5,4,3,2 in order. We use DB0 to DB7 for 8-bit data transfer. But since 4-bit data transfer is enough, we only use DB4 to DB7.
03:43 Step 10 To program Arduino, connect it to the computer.
03:59 How to check if Arduino is connected to Windows or detected by the laptop or computer using Device Manager
04:36 Step 11: Program the Arduino uno board to control or display Alphanumeric characters on the LCD.
04:43 LiquidCrystal header file
04:53 lcd object instantiation
05:09 lcd begin function
05:39 Select Arduino board type and COM PORT number in the IDE
05:43 Compile code by clicking the check or Verify button
06:16 lcd setCursor function
06:39 lcd print function
