HOW TO CREATE CUSTOM CHARACTERSON LCD

hi there!welcometo thes arduino basicsvideo . in thisvideo,i'm gonnashow how to create custom characters on the 16 into 2 LCD display using arduino.you should get familier with arduino in my previous basics video about controlling LCDdisplays.so,let's get started!.I'm using Liquid crystal display library.thanks to the creators  who made this library.creating the custom characters on your  into  LCD display with the help ofarduino is super simple.you can make your own characters with some limitations.i also released premade codes for you guys for different signs,characters.emojis in my blog website.it's totally free to use.chek it out in the video description if you findsomething useful to do.to createcustom characters first,we need to writea 8 bit data consisting of zeroes and ones.you want to createa name for the 8 bit data and keep it like an array.then,you need to use the LCD.createchar function to address your names of the previously created 8 bit array.it usually starts from zero.the 8 bit data is nothing but thevalues that make thecustom character. these bits decide whether the pixels of the LCD screen to be on or off.for printing thecharacters on the 16 into 2 LCD display,we need to usethe LCD.write function.then we need to set the cursor where the characters needto be placed.thefinal result looks like this.
