EXCITING HANDS-ON TIME... :)

           Okay..Sorry to kept anyone who is reading this blog to wait for our new post... Well as you all know that the unexpected happened, so we figured it would be better for us to just continue with our current progress.. As soon as we got the UNO, we couldn't keep our hands off it!! We kept testing the programs that have in the examples from the Tutorials forum and it goes without saying, IT WORKSSS~~~ :D As we both are excited, first we tested to both our UNO using the blinking LED program to make sure it's transferring the right data. (Of course u wont see it's blinking in this picture)

                                                                   Blinking LED worked!


             Then, we soldered the LCD (16X2) to the right connection, to get it ready to run at the UNO. First, we set the contrast. By setting the contrast, there are some soldering needed. After that, we connected the UNO to a USB cable, and don't worry,  the cable is the same as your printer cable. This step is crucial, you cannot GO FURTHER until you get this kind of output. *The connections are based on the previous post about configuring pins.

          After that, we connects the data lines from the LCD to the monitoring UNO. Also, the pins are from the previous post. So when the jumpers are connected, we run our testing programs from the ARDUINO Software and VOILA!!!!

Then all other test were just playing around such as:
