Last revision 2025/12/24

In this section, we'll explain how to initialize the LCD screen. You can use "setFontSize" and "setColor" function to change the font and the color of the characters.

Software Preparation

Note: This library only works on Classic Arduino IDE 1.0.x)

/*
This code will demonstrate how to make the LCD display string with the library
If you need to set the font size, you can call this function "setFontSize()",and you can set the parameters:
    FONT_SIZE_SMALL
    FONT_SIZE_MEDIUM
    FONT_SIZE_LARGE
    FONT_SIZE_XLARGE

If you want to set the font color, you can call this function "setColor()" with the parameters:
    RGB16_RED-------->RED
    RGB16_GREEN------>GREEN
    RGB16_BLUE------->BLUE
    RGB16_YELLOW----->YELLOW
    RGB16_CYAN------->CYAN
    RGB16_PINK------->PINK
    RGB16_WHITE------>WHITE
