/* LiquidCrystal Library - Hello World LiquidCrystal library works with all LCD displays that are compatible with the Hitachi HD44780 driver. The circuit: * LCD 1 to ground (black) * LCD 2 VCC to 5V (red) * LCD 3 contrast to ground (brown) * LCD 4 (RS) pin to digital pin 12 (blue) * LCD 5 (R/W) pin to ground (yellow) * LCD 6 (Enable) pin to digital pin 11 (green) * LCD 11 (D4) pin to digital pin 5 (white) * LCD 12 (D5) pin to digital pin 4 (grey) * LCD 13 (D6) pin to digital pin 3 (orange) * LCD 14 (D7) pin to digital pin 2 (purple) http://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/LiquidCrystal */// include the library code:#include <LiquidCrystal.h>// initialize the library with the numbers of the interface pinsLiquidCrystal lcd(12, 11, 5, 4, 3, 2);//--- Function: setup ()void setup(){ // set up the LCD's number of columns and rows: lcd.begin(16, 2); // Print a message to the LCD. lcd.print("Time (s)");}//--- Function: loop ()void loop(){ // set the cursor to column 0, line 1 // (note: line 1 is the second row, since counting begins with 0): lcd.setCursor(0, 1); // print the number of seconds since reset: lcd.print(millis()/1000);}
