PROJECT 4
Printing data to the Arduino Serial
Monitor is a great way to see data from the
RedBoard. But, what if you want to make
your project mobile and see sensor values
away from your computer? This project
will show you how to do exactly that. You’ll
learn about Liquid Crystal Displays
(LCDs) and how to print things like sensor
data and strings of words to the display.
