Experiments 5.X: Arduino LCD Tutorial II - A Reaction Timer

In this video I combine three previous videos and write some code to create an Arduino based Reaction Timer. The entire circuit is built on a breadboard using an ATmega328P on its own, which is combined with a Newhaven Display LCD Module that has an RGB backlight. I work through the code in some detail and explain how to write the code for the reaction timer. At the end of the video I provide links to the previous videos that show how to build the three individual circuits: Breadboard PSU, Arduino on a Breadboard and Arduino LCD Tutorial. This video is a part of a module on an introduction to Digital and Analogue Electronics at Dublin City Univeristy, Ireland: www.eeng.dcu.ie/~molloyd/EE223/

nice rpg lcd

were did you get it?

[DerekMolloyDCU]

@robot797 It's a Newhaven Display with RGB Backlight - Digikey are now shipping to Ireland, so I ordered with them. Part number: NHD-0216K1Z-NS(RGB)-FBW-REV1-N­D

Excellent video, Derek. You've really helped me to understand the arduino and how it interfaces to actual devices.
