 ABSTRACT

Advancement in science and technology has led to the popularity of digital displays (bill
boards) for advertisement and public enlightenment as opposed to manually painted bill boards.
One advantage of such digital displays is the flexibility of changing the contents without
necessarily removing the board. This is made possible mainly through the use of a microcontroller
programmed to control the characters displayed on the screen. This Project discusses the design
and prototype implementation of an arduino microcontroller based liquid crystal display (LCD).
The Arduino microcontroller is a microprocessor embedded circuit board with open source
software development environment that allows easy development of microcontroller based devices.
It allows for the development of micro-controlled systems that can be adapted to particular needs.
The arduino microcontroller was connected (hard-wired) to the pins of an LCD programmed to
display a list of names continuously but one at a time. The developed system was tested and found
to meet the required specifications. We intend to extend our work to provide a keypad programmed
to allow manipulation of the characters displayed on screen. The future work will also explore the
use of a bigger LCD with suitable hardware to manipulate and display graphics in addition to the
characters.
