reflect our 5 x 8 dots in the LCD. Where we set a 1 in the binary
code, a white dot will appear later. With
lcd.write(byte(0))
, we
write the character onto the LCD.
The example makes the entire thing even clearer. Try to produce
a battery symbol or a thermometer.
The experiment requires the LCD basic writing that you set up
in the function test.
