1. Modify Example 1 so that the text "TIP" is moving back and forth.

Circuit:

Source Code:
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>

LiquidCrystal lcd( 12, 11, 5, 4, 3, 2);

const int timer=500;

int ctr;

void setup()
{
// set up the LCD's number of columns and rows:

lcd.begin(16, 2);
}

void loop()
{
if (ctr==0)
{
for (int col=15;col>=0;col--)
{

3. Display the lines of text below, one after the other. First, show each line of text in
the bottom line, and then move it up to the top line of the LCD. This should give a
scrolling effect to your message. Leave every bit of text 2 seconds on the bottom
line and 2 seconds on the top line. While one line of text moves to the top line,
the next one fills up the bottom line. Text: “There are only”, ”10 kinds”,” of
people !”, “Those who”, “understand”, “BINARY”, “and those who”, “DON’T….”.
Put it all in an infinite loop.
