Project 20: 1602 LCD
Introduction
In this experiment, we use an Arduino to drive the 1602 LCD.
1602 LCD has wide applications. In the beginning, 1602 LCD uses a HD44780 controller. Now,
almost all 1602 LCD module uses a compatible IC, so their features are basically the same.
1602LCD Main Parameters:

Display capacity: 16 * 2 characters

Chip operating voltage: 4.5 ~ 5.5V

Working current: 2.0mA (5.0V)

Optimum working voltage of the module is 5.0V

Character size: 2.95 * 4.35 (W * H) mm
