PCBWay is a service for manufacturing custom PCBs. If you click the link above, you will get a coupon for $5, which is exactly the price of 5 pieces of custom PCBs. In that case, you will only pay for shipping. I would like to design my custom PCB soon. Do you have any experience doing this? Please let me know in the comment section!

Learn how to create a custom gauge using Arduino UNO and the 16x2 Character Display. This tutorial is for absolute beginners, and anyone should be able to follow the steps.
There are two "main" versions of the 16x2 display - based on the connection. It would either be a parallel connection, or an I2C connection. The I2C connection is much easier to use because it only requires two wires (SDA - serial data, and SCL - serial clock). With the LiquidCrystal_I2C library, it´s very easy to control the display.
Those displays are cheap, and they are available in many different colors. You can also get the display with an RGB backlight, and in that case, the display could be any color you want.
Do you have any questions? Suggestions for the next video? Please put those down in the comment section. I try to answer as many questions as I can. Thank you for watching, and reading the video description and I hope to see you next time. Good luck with your projects!
