A good skill to have when building your own Johnny-Five projects is finding code and wiring diagrams for the components that you'd like to use. Luckily, the www.johnny-five.io website and the project provide a thorough and top-notch documentation right there on the site!

  2. Then, you'll see a list of components on the left (if you're on a desktop) or at the top (if you're on a tablet or phone).

  3. Find and click the LCD entry in this list.
