How To Display Custom Characters On LCD Using Arduino

We all are aware of custom characters used in the various display module.Heart, various style of smileys, arrow are the foremost usually used custom characters. Thus, during this tutorial, we are going to learn how to display custom characters in LCD using arduino UNO board. This project is done by using of arduino UNO board and 16*2 LCD module.

Custom Character Display
It is assumed that reader knows how to interface LCD with arduino and how to install arduino software.We can generate a completely different style of the custom character using the below pixel array shown in the image.

the custom character shown below that is used in our program to generate the smile type character:
         {
                0b00000,
                0b00000,
                0b01010,
                0b00000,
                0b10001,
                0b01110,
                0b00000,
                0b00000
              };

Fritzing: an Electronic Design Automation software

Image
Fritzing is an open-source initiative to support designers, artists, researchers and hobbyists to take the step from physical prototyping to actual product. We are creating this software in the spirit of Processing and Arduino, developing a tool that allows users to document their Arduino and other electronic-based prototypes, and to create a PCB layout for manufacturing. The complementing website helps users to share and discuss drafts and experiences as well as to reduce manufacturing costs. Fritzing is essentially an Electronic Design Automation software with a low entry barrier, suited for the needs of designers and artists. It uses the metaphor of the breadboard, so that it is easy to transfer your hardware sketch to the software. From there it is possible to create PCB layouts for turning it into a robust PCB yourself or by help of a manufacturer. Why Fritzing is needed Physical prototyping tools have come a long way and already allow non-engineers to quickly turn their ideas in
