Project 1 - Interfacing a 16*2 LCD with Arduino using I2C protocol

Overview of the Project:

In this project implementing the Code for “Interfacing a 16*2 LCD with two Arduino’s (one for Master and one for Slave) using Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) communication protocol” by sending the message to LCD using I2C communication protocol and display the message on LCD screen.

Goals:

• Communication between Arduino and 16*2 LCD using I2C protocol.
• Displaying the message sent by Master and received by slave i.e. LCD display.

Key Highlights of the Project:

• Using the inter-integrated circuit communication protocol, transferring the data i.e. the message we want to display is sent to the LCD.
• Two Arduino’s connected to the LCD display and the communication is executed using I2C protocol between Arduino and the LDC display.

Deliverables of this project:

• Communication between the Arduino’s and LCD using I2C.
• The message passed from master to slave and displayed on the 16*2 LCD.

Expected Outcomes:

• Students will get the Knowledge of I2C communication Protocol and the Arduino.
• The Hardware connection of all components used in this project.
• Displaying the message sent by master (Arduino) and received by the slave (16*2 LCD display).

AIM:

To implement the Code for “Interfacing a 16*2 LCD with two Arduino’s (one for Master & one for Slave) using Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) communication protocol” by sending the message to LCD using I2C communication protocol and display the message on LCD screen.

COMPONENTS REQUIRED:

• ARDUINO
• 16x12 Display LCDs

void setup()

lcd.clear(); //Clears LCD display
Serial.begin(9600); //Begins Serial Communication at 9600 baud rate
Wire.begin(); //Begins I2C communication at pin (A4,A5)
}

void loop()

{

byte MasterReceive = Wire.read(); // receive a byte from the slave arduino and store in MasterReceive
int potvalue = analogRead(A0); // Reads analog value from POT (0-5V)
byte MasterSend = map(potvalue,0,1023,0,127); //Convert digital value (0 to 1023) to (0 to 127)

Wire.beginTransmission(8); // start transmit to slave arduino (8)
Wire.write(MasterSend); // sends one byte converted POT value to slave
Wire.endTransmission(); // stop transmitting
lcd.setCursor(0,0); //Sets Currsor at line one of LCD
lcd.print(">> Master <<"); //Prints >> Master << at LCD
lcd.setCursor(0,1); //Sets Cursor at line two of LCD
lcd.print("SlaveVal:"); //Prints SlaveVal: in LCD
lcd.print(MasterReceive); //Prints MasterReceive in LCD received from Slave
Serial.println("Master Received From Slave"); //Prints in Serial Monitor
Serial.println(MasterReceive);
