Introduction

LCD Display:

LCD display is a flat panel display.
It does not emit light directly.
It will display arbitrary images or fixed images with low information.

Uses:

Computer Monitor
Televisions
Instrument Panels

Figure 1: LCD Display

Potentiometer:

It can have the three terminals.
It can have sliding or rotating contact that forms a adjustable voltage divider.
It act as a variable resistor (or) rheostat.

Figure 2: potentiometer

Push Button:

The push-button connects the two points.
The first pin in the push button are connected to 5Vc.
The second pin in the push button is connected to gnd.

Figure3: Push Button

Parts Of List:

Arduino Uno
LCD Display
Potentiometer
Push Button
Bread Board
Hookup Wire
USB cable

Connection:

Step 1: Fix the LCD display in the breadboard and connect it to the Arduino UNO board as per the following figure 4.

Figure 4: LCD Connection.

Step 2: Fix the push button on the breadboard and connect to the Arduino UNO board as per the following figure 5.

Figure5: Pushbutton Connection.

Step 3: Connect the potentiometer to the LCD display and breadboard. Potentiometer center leads to the LCD display 3pin.
