The activity was about a 16x2 LCD that displays a combination of
o

scrolling text and a timer. The first line of the LCD was supposed to scroll
aC s

from left to right and when it reaches a certain part of the text, will scroll
vi y re

from right to left. The second line of the LCD will display a timer.

CONCLUSION
Th

We therefore conclude that there are different ways on displaying an

output in an LCD. This experiment also gave us an idea on how LCD works.
sh

How the output was dependent on the size of the LCD as well as the length
of text that was supposed to be the output.
