Neben einer normalen 2×16-LCD-Anzeige mit Hintergrundbeleuchtung gibt es 5 Tasten, die interessanterweise nicht einzeln auf Digitalports gehen, sondern nur über einen einzigen Analogport abgefragt werden: Die Tasten liefern über einen Widerstands-Spannungsteilerkette unterschiedliche Spannungswerte.

Die LCD-Anzeige kann über die Standard-Arduino-Bibliothek LiquidCrystal angesteuert werden. Initilaisierung

LiquidCrystal lcd(8,9,4,5,6,7);

Die Tasten werden so abgefragt:

//Sample using LiquidCrystal library
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
