However, it turned out; I spent a significant amount of time understanding how to print to the Arduino LCD display correctly.</p> <aside class="legacy-note legacy-note-dark" role="note"><figure><img src="https://www.baldengineer.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/httpsstatics3.seeedstudio.comimages104030001201-300x225.jpg" alt="Grove RGB character LCD display" width="300"> </figure> <p>If you need an easy to use RGB LCD, check out the <a href="https://www.seeedstudio.com/Grove-LCD-RGB-Backlight.html">Grove LCD from SeeedStudio</a>. They sent me one to check out. The LCD comes with Seeed&rsquo;s &ldquo;<a href="http://wiki.seeedstudio.com/Grove_System/">grove connector system</a>&rdquo; which can connect to a variety of their Arduino-compatible boards. You can also pick up the <a href="https://www.seeedstudio.com/Base-Shield-V2.html">Grove Base Shield</a> which adds a variety of Grove connectors to an Arduino Uno. The Grove LCD makes it super easy to connect up a character LCD. It is very plug-and-play.</p>
