Box of Empathy
Overview
For this task, we need to create a moode booster using arduino and LCD.
My Plan:
Step (1): Prototyping Design
Step (2): Coding + test
Step (3): Time to solder
Step (4): Refining process
The Process
Prototyping Design
I started as usual using a bread board to connect the LCD with arduino and the two push button just to make sure the wiring is Good.
Wiring process
for the LCD:
- LCD K & Vss pin to GNd
- LCD A & VDD pin to 5 Volt
- 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 Vo pin to the middle pin of 10K var.Resistor
for the PushButton:
- Happy Button-First leg to 5V
- second leg to 1K resistor & arduino pin 6
- Sad Button First leg to 5V
- second leg to 1K resistor & arduino pin 7
