Julien Bayle owns his Master Degree of biology & computer sciences in 2000. After several years in pure IT System Design, he founded Design the Media early 2010 in order to provide his own courses, training & tools for art fields. As a digital artist, he designed some huge new media art installations, like the permanent exhibition of La Maison des Cinématographies de la Méditerranée (Château de la Buzine) in Marseille, France, in 2011. He also works as a new media technology consultant for some private & public entities. As an A/V live performer, he plays his cold electronic music from New York to Marseille, where he actually lives. Arduino framework is one of his first electronic hardware studies early 2005 and he designed the famous protodeck controller with some opensource framework too. As an art & technology teacher, also certified by Ableton in 2010, he teaches a lot of courses about the digital audio workstation named Ableton Live, about the real-time graphical programming framework Max6 and also about Processing and Arduino. As a minimalist digital artist, he works at the crossroads of sound, visual and data. He explores relationships between sounds and visuals through his immersive A/V installations, his live performances and his released music. His work, often described as “complex, intrigating and relevant”, tries to break classical codes to bring audience a new vision of our world through his pure digital and real-time generated stimuli. He's deeply involved in the open source community and loves to share and provide workshops and masterclasses online and on-site too. His personal website is http://julienbayle.net.

Quick introduction to LCD

LCD means Liquid Crystal Display. We use LCD technology everyday in watches, digicode display, and so on. Look around you, and check these small or great LCDs.

There exist two big families of LCD displays:

  • Character LCD is based on a matrix of characters (columns x rows)

  • Graphical LCD , is based on a pixel matrix

We can find a lot of printed circuit boards that include an LCD and the connectors to interface them with Arduino and other systems for cheap, nowadays.

There is now a library included in the Arduino Core that is really easy to use. Its name is LiquidCrystal, and it works with all LCD displays that are compatible with the Hitachi HD44780 driver. This driver is really common.

Hitachi developed it as a very dedicated driver, that includes a micro-controller itself, specifically to drive alphanumeric characters LCDs and to connect to the external world easily too, which can be done by a specific link using, usually, 16 connectors, including power supply for the...
