Are you bored of always using the same characters in the lcd displays of your arduino projects?

But, if you ever tried doing so you'l know it easier said than done. And that's why I created this website.

How to use with arduino

If you want to use the characters you created in your arduino project, here is an example on how to do it. 

// choose a name with a different number for each character
#define name 0

//load the code given by LCD - Custom
byte nameData[] = {
	B00000,
	B11111,
	B10001,
	B10101,
	B10101,
	B10001,
	B11111,
	B00000
};

void setup()
{
	lcd.begin(16, 2);

	// Initialize the characters
	lcd.createChar(name, nameData);
}

void loop()
{
	lcd.setCursor(0, 0);
	
	lcd.print("Hello World!");
	
	// Use your character
	lcd.write(byte(name));
}
