  <p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: medium;"> This is a 16x2 LCD and Keypad shield for Arduino Uno, Diecimila, Duemilanove and Freeduino boards.</span></p>
  <ul><li><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: medium;"> Blue Backlight with white words</span></li>
  <li><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: medium;"> uses 4 Bit Arduino LCD Library</span></li>
  <li><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: medium;"> Left, Right, Up, Down and Select buttons</span></li>
  <li><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: medium;"> Screen contrast adjustment</span></li>
  <li><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: medium;"> Arduino Reset button</span></li>
  </ul><p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: medium;"> The board uses different pins to the Arduino example sketches, so to make the display work, use the following sequence of pins when starting the library:</span></p>
  <p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: medium;"> LiquidCrystal lcd(8,9,4,5,6,7); <br /></span></p>
  <p><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: medium;"> The buttons are connected to only one analog input pin through resistors to give a different voltage for each button, thus saving on input/output pins. Reading the buttons is easy and example code is shown below</span></p>

  <p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Installing library:</span></strong></p>
  <p><span style="font-size: medium;">Download and unzipped the <a href="./sites/default/files/ArduinoLibraries/LCD4Bit_mod.zip" target="_blank">library folder</a>, and place it to the Arduino libraries directory. Once the library is correctly installed, the file structcture should look like:</span></p>
  <p><span style="font-size: medium;">arduino-0010/hardware/libraries/LCD4Bit_mod             </span><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">arduino-0010/hardware/libraries/LCD4Bit_mod/LCD4Bit_mod.cpp  </span><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">arduino-0010/hardware/libraries/LCD4Bit_mod/LCD4Bit_mod.h    </span><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">arduino-0010/hardware/libraries/LCD4Bit_mod/keywords.txt </span><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">arduino-0010/hardware/libraries/LCD4Bit_mod/examples     </span><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">arduino-0010/hardware/libraries/LCD4Bit_mod/readme.txt   </span></p>
  <p><span style="font-size: medium;">Open the example from file -&gt; Examples -&gt; LDC4Bit_mod -&gt; LCD4Bit_modExample, as shown in the screenshot below.</span><br /><img src="data:image/jpeg;base64,[encoded data, 148236 characters]" border="0" alt="" width="548" height="661" /></p>
  <p><span style="font-size: medium;"><font size="1" style="font-size: 2pt;"><font face="Verdana, sans-serif"><br /></font></font></span><span style="font-size: medium;">The example should provide enough information to show you how to work with the LCD and all the 5 buttons.<br /></span></p>
