Story

Stuck at home and no one to play with? Make an LCD friend in less than 10 minutes!

Hello! You want to make an LCD Friend huh? well let's just start the project right away! So all you need is your everyday Arduino board an LCD and some wires. That's mostly it!

So first pick up your Arduino board, then start wiring using the circuit diagram. Once you wire it, Go down to the code, then copy the Arduino code. Put it in your Arduino software.

Just do the connections from circuit diagram.

If you want help regarding the connections of LCD Display, Watch this video from below link:

If you did all the things and connections correctly.

You can play with your Digital Doggy :-)
