Want to add an LCD display screen for the output motor

Question

I want add an LCD display screen at output motor. When the motor runs the LCD display show like "motor 1 run forward" and "motor 1 run reverse". I want it display for all motor but I don't know how code using arduino using 16x2 LCD display screen.

int motor_forward1 = 7;
int motor_reverse1 = 6;
int motor_forward2 = 5;
int motor_reverse2 = 4;
int motor_forward3 = 3;
int motor_reverse3 = 2;
int sensor1 = 13;
int sensor2 = 12;
 void setup() 
{
 pinMode(motor_forward1, OUTPUT);
 pinMode(motor_reverse1, OUTPUT);
 pinMode(motor_forward2, OUTPUT);
 pinMode(motor_reverse2, OUTPUT);
 pinMode(motor_forward3, OUTPUT);
 pinMode(motor_reverse3, OUTPUT);
 pinMode(sensor1, INPUT);
 pinMode(sensor2, INPUT);
 }
 void loop()
 {
 if (digitalRead(13) == HIGH)
 {
 print
 digitalWrite(motor_forward1,1);
 digitalWrite(motor_reverse1,0);
 delay(5000);
 digitalWrite(motor_forward1,0);
 digitalWrite(motor_reverse1,1);
 delay(5000);
 digitalWrite(motor_forward1,0);
 digitalWrite(motor_reverse1,0);
 delay(1000);
 }
 else if (digitalRead(12) == HIGH)
 {
 digitalWrite(motor_forward2,1); 
 digitalWrite(motor_reverse2,0);
 delay(5000);
 digitalWrite(motor_forward2,0);
 digitalWrite(motor_reverse2,1);
 delay(5000);
 digitalWrite(motor_forward2,0);
 digitalWrite(motor_reverse2,0);
 delay(1000);
 }
 else
 {
 digitalWrite(motor_forward3,1); 
 digitalWrite(motor_reverse3,0);
 delay(5000);
 digitalWrite(motor_forward3,0);
 digitalWrite(motor_reverse3,1);
 delay(5000);
 digitalWrite(motor_forward3,0);
 digitalWrite(motor_reverse3,0);
 delay(1000);
 }
 delay(5000);
 }

• Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams: Other than the LiquidCrystal library?

Answer 1

From this instructable:

// include the library code:
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
// initialize the library with the numbers of the interface pins
LiquidCrystal lcd(12, 11, 5, 4, 3, 2);
void setup() {
 // set up the LCD's number of columns and rows:
 lcd.begin(16, 2);
 // Print a message to the LCD.
 lcd.print(" **Text for line 1 of LCD**");
 lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
 lcd.print(" **Text for line 2 of LCD**");
 // THE REST OF YOUR SETUP
}
void loop() {
 if (digitalRead(13) == HIGH) {
 // I assume this is the motor going forward
 lcd.print("motor 1 run forward");
 }
}

• Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams: "Install" is a bit facetious though, since it comes with the IDE these days.
• circuitBurn: Wasn't aware of that :)
• Lina: @circuitBurn Thanks for your code. But I have used arduino pin 5,4,3 and 2. need connect parallel to LCD screen?
