This video is a highly in-depth explanation. It seems like a slow-motion version of the way the microcontroller works.
Most involved and valuable “hello world” I’ve seen so far
Reading the datasheet is actually the best thing, it opens your mind to all the possibilities.
Man you are an excellent teacher, that segway from pots to pull ups/downs and then to voltage dividers was on point!.
I m a newbie to digital electronics. Was using such a display through Arduino and built in libraries. After watching this, my whole perception changed. Now I realise how much stuff goes on in the background and what actually the microcontroller is doing. Amazing video. Really grateful.
I applied this to a Raspberry pi pico and I have succesfully transmitted the letter H in 93 lines of code
Aaaaaannnddddd I subscribed. That was the most detailed explanation of the workings of that screen I have ever seen. And it yet again shows me why Arduino is but a stepping stone... With libraries always missing vital functions >.>
Thanks for your magical explanation, we have now only one teacher on YouTube, for crystal clear understanding.
This is the perfect way to teach this. Turning the Enable on and off was quite confusing to me in class because it was all in code, but having everything physically on a breadboard cleared so much up. Thank you!
Hi Mitch... Just came across this presentation on display programming ... A pleasure to listen to. Unpretentious, honest and accurate .... engineering needs more of your style and skill.
Amazing video, both keeping it relatively simple but also highlighting pitfalls/possible misunderstandings. Love it!
I am at this stage, where I'm almost graduating, but still a bit afraid to go through the datesheet for some reason. This was extremely helpful, especially the Enable timing diagram. I always try to avoid that part, because it looks so scary. Thank you for breaking this down to such an easy understanding :)
Hi, I'm a Student from Centennial College, ON CA. I found your video in our course shell, and it is very helpful. I'm coming to thank you, and give you a thumb up.
Thanks Mitchel, I love the low levels tutorial, where things are done by hand, and I found very useful how you explain how you read the datasheet. Indeed datasheet can be scary...
Hi Mitch, a great Video indeed! After a couple of minutes i was playing around with breadboards, wires and a 16/2 display. It worked perfectly fine! Thanks a lot for showing the important parts of the datasheet. the next 300p doc i‘ll try to read by my own.
Wish I had found a video like this in High School! 😂 But it's so true, if the only answer to my question is in the datasheet, I'm doing something else. Hopefully not anymore!
I love how you're going through the thought process of the average beginner, Like oh RW that could mean read and write. You are single handedly reshaping the thought process of every newbie watching you. <3
This was very helpful. In other websites, they were showing that D7 of the lcd receives the least signicant bit, but it's obviously the one that receives the most significant bit.
I learned more from this video than I ever did in 1 semester at uni
