Arduino Shield - keyboards and displays

Arduino Shields – information visualization

In this category you will find the best overlays for Arduino, which will ensure great communication with other components. Information visualization is very important when building more advanced projects. What's more, visualization of information for the user can be implemented in electronic devices in many ways.

Arduino's most popular direct communication methods include two types of devices - Arduino keyboards and displays. The first nowadays are starting to give way to the latter, but they are still useful. They will work especially if you program a lot and create a device compatible with applications for mobile phones or a computer. In turn, LCD displays also have control keyboards (touch screen). It is a solution that is most often used because it provides great work efficiency, looks good and takes up little space.

LCD displays for Arduino

If you are thinking of buying an Arduino display, then it is worth exploring its features at the beginning. In this case, the display is not just a screen. It is also an Arduino Shield overlay that is fully programmable and compatible with other parts.

In technical terms, attention is paid to 7-segment displays, LEDs and liquid crystal displays (LCD), which have the greatest possibilities of displaying information. Information visualization is carried out through liters, numbers, punctuation marks and special characters. Depending on the model, individual hardware may have different graphic symbols embedded. To facilitate the design of your devices, we have prepared an offer of Arduino Shield overlays equipped with a programmable LCD display and a push-button keyboard. These are top-class devices that will make it easier to control other components!

How to use Arduino displays and keyboards? What is their use?

There are many types of Arduino displays. The basic variant is the LCD display built into the Arduino Shield, which consists of two lines of 16 characters. What's more, you can display a maximum of 32 characters on this display. The devices presented in this category are very easy to use. Using the display is easy thanks to the free Arduino ‘Liquid Crystal’ library.

The use of Arduino displays and keyboards is very wide. For example, writing just a few lines of code will allow you to design a menu for using a CNC machine with the option of navigating using a button keyboard. The button keyboard communicates with Arduino via a resistor divider connected to one of the inputs of the analog-to-digital converter. All this will be possible by using the presented Arduino Shields.

Do not delay any longer with a decision! Arduino Shields displays and keyboards will give you great possibilities. Create exactly these projects you have dream about. For any questions –
