Thank you for spreading your knowledge to the world! Not only showing what you have done "i am cool" - you explain a small piece the world - you give your viewers the feeling that it's possible to cut complex things into small understandable parts - THANK YOU FOR SHARING - SHARING IS CAREING! :-)
Thanks for the kind words - glad you found it useful. Good question about the functions in the Adafruit graphics library. I've added a link to an overview of the GFX library at Adafruit learning system in the description of the video.
Eidallon Google, seriously. The most important skill you can have is being able to perform a relevant Google search quickly. Then almost all the information in the world is yours. I did learn electronics in the Air Force a long time ago, but I've learned 20X that since fooling around with this stuff.
I completely agree! Knowing how to research is definitely one of the MOST valuable skills someone can learn. If you know how to dig through the internet (google, etc) then you can learn anything you ever want. Only if people could understand this rather than asking to be spoon fed all the information. Here are some of the things I've learned over the years that's helped me tremendously. Hint: Asking questions is one of the slowest ways to learn what you want/need, because it's likely someone has already asked your question and had plenty of answers. Use google, seriously! Hint: If you can't immediately find the answer your looking for, try searching your question in different ways / using different terms. Example: How do I ... Is it possible to ... Can I ... Has anyone ever ... Hint: Always be as specific as possible, this will help narrow down your search. If you're not seeing any results, try to slim the question down and be just a tad bit more vague. Repeat this step as necessary. Hint: When it's finally time to ask your question, try a popular community where your question is relevant. One of the most valuable resources I hang on to is the StackExchange community. They have so many sub-communities it's crazy! For example, they have a community just for electronics, and another for gardening, and another for beer making, etc.
So, where is ther library "LCD_Functions.h"? "LCD_FROM_LONNIE.ino:39:27: fatal error: LCD_Functions.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated."
Look at the github page for that library, first of all. On that page it says: Check that the Adafruit_PCD8544 folder contains Adafruit_PCD8544.cpp and Adafruit_PCD8544.h That page also says - You will also have to download the Adafruit GFX Graphics core which does all the circles, text, rectangles, etc. Have you installed the libraries correctly? Can I see the code? The only thing I can tell from just looking at the error messages you've shown is that you've probably misspelled setCursor
Easy - I'd recommend an Arduino. Support for peripherals is better and documentation is better. Move to the MSP430 later for projects where it makes sense, and when you have more experience.
Thanks. Very helpful. My PC also had the keyboard problem. It seemed to go away after mucking around with my keyboard/mouse dongle. Maybe it's just the Arduino IDE, hence why I downloaded ATMEL Studio and Arduino for Visual Studio. Hopefully these solve the problem. Not much help on the Mac; unless you use a VM of course.
Hi, I want to make as simple project with LCD display, audio and some switches to start learning. Would you recommend arduino or MSP430 Lunchpad which is cheaper + better (?) to a beginner?
thanks for taking your time and uploading this tutorial. can you tell me - would that be possible to hook up two displays to ONE arduino and operate both of them simultaneously displaying different data?
Hi, Lonnie. I tried your code with my Nokia 5110 LCD display (I have an Arduino Duemilanove) and the contrast set made all the difference, different from what you said in the video. The only difference I can see from my setup to yours is the Arduino board. Do you think it may be the cause of this different behaviour of contrast() function?
Hi lonie I have a question, do you know how to code the hexadecimal code of an image into the display...Ive been having a hard time doing so. Your help is very much appreciated
Hi great tutorial like all your other videos. Is there anywhere that the code for this Arduino/Nokia clock is still available for download? Thanks. I'm really just interested in the second hand sweep loops. Thanks again.
HI did check ur vid, but I still have a problem, I have a similar product nokia 5110, but the pin order is not the same, it is working but the text is so dimmed, I can barely see it, would u have any idea ??? tried a lot of things but nothing is helping. thanks
Already, now, I do not program the electronic modules on the Arduino platform; fortunately, now, I program on the in-system programmer, using Arduino IDE and different programmable software.
Please help. Getting these errors: class 'Adafruit_PCD8544' has no member named 'setCuror' class 'Adafruit_PCD8544' has no member named 'println' class 'Adafruit_PCD8544' has no member named 'width' class 'Adafruit_PCD8544' has no member named 'height' error: statement cannot resolve address of overloaded function
My LCD's contrast is very low, sometimes it's difficult to read anything from it. Sometimes it works perfect and clear but for just seconds, then it goes blink and then again its contrast lower down. And i didn't forget to setContrast(60). What the problem may be?
Great video. Do you know how to connect two 5110 LCDs to one arduino? I have tried two different ways without success. (declared 2 classes and giving CE a pin of it's own) Thanks
Nokia is pronounced Noh-kia (like "not" without the T), not know-kia. Sincerely, Europe :P great video though, I may tear up some of my old phones to use their parts soon.

My bad. All it takes is double checking the code.
Excellent video. Well done
Your welcome, thanks for the kind words.

Thanks for this great video. Inspired me to get a couple of these, they're in the mail :)
Hi lonie I have a question, do you know how to code the hexadecimal code of an image into the display...Ive been having a hard time doing so. Your help is very much appreciated
What if I power it externally using 2 AAA batteries, will it still work as normal
Hi great tutorial like all your other videos. Is there anywhere that the code for this Arduino/Nokia clock is still available for download? Thanks. I'm really just interested in the second hand sweep loops. Thanks again.
That is a really good question John - I should have posted that code. Let me see if I can find it for you.
John Light I sent the code to your inbox, along with my email if you have other questions.
Lonnie Honeycutt Thank-you I will make good use of it.
Lonnie Honeycutt Could you please send me the code?
John Light Can you please send me the code?

Try 5 volts instead of 3.3. It won't hurt it (the max is 7 volts), and it worked for mine.
Already, now, I do not program the electronic modules on the Arduino platform; fortunately, now, I program on the in-system programmer, using Arduino IDE and different programmable software.

Great work! Very simple but efficient! Thanks :)
can I connect it with arduino nano?
This video is awesome.
Thanks for the tutorial.
Absolutely superb review, very informative, very clear. Please do more ;-)
where did you lern all this stuff you know about engineering and programming? What did you study?
because I want to learn these things, too.
what linux os ur using?

Junker Man I haven't done it yet. Will have to give it a try sometime.
Good tute mate, but could you please maybe leave you scrolling through a datasheet till the end next time, or make an index :)
Nope. Guess you got what you paid for.
Great work! Very efficient! Thanks
Thanks! I never get my code right the first time, and usually not the second or third either. :)
can i use different version lcd of nokia?
yes 3310 work. or any model that has similar lcd.

When I have a text problem in the Arduino IDE, I press the INSERT key on my keyboard, then it works normal.
Your cat sounds just like mine, I thought she'd come in and was asking for her supper
A great tutorial. Many thanks.
Nokia is pronounced Noh-kia (like "not" without the T), not know-kia. Sincerely, Europe :P great video though, I may tear up some of my old phones to use their parts soon.
lonnie great work, I want to code please..
haldunsuri@gmail.com
Put the circuit diagram please
Thanks. This is awesome.
very cool, thanks
Tommy Arnold Yes! Have a 19 year old Siamese and 2 other cats.
thanks a lot, that helped me
11 лет, бейсик на ZX Spectrum и команда drow без косинусов, синусов и т.п. прям как у автора... только мне тогда было 11 лет, может быть автору тоже 11 лет?...
That's WY mine drove It works on 3v
Is the cat ok?
great tutorial. b-b-b-b-BEAST
Watching the video and wondering if it's your cat meowing or mine...
I think your flux capacitor went bad :-)
Is that your cat in the background?
It's actually Mac OSX
I'm sorry is there a point to this video? I fell asleep waiting for you to get to any point that was interesting.....I guess I missed it all......
Some people pays hundreds of dollars for sleep aids. The ingratitude these days
Oh snap! XD
i got it for 3$ on amazon
18:28 trololololol
would you be able to give me the full coding for the clock?
