Interfacing 20*4 LCD with arduino

Hello Friends,

In this tutorial, we are going to interface 20*4 lcd with arduino uno. As the name suggests it has 4 rows and twenty columns. In total, we can show 80 characters. It has blue backlight. It has 16 pins just like 16*2. The pin configuration of 20*4 lcd is similar to that of 16*2 lcd.

How to burn Arduino bootloader to atmega 328

In this post we will learn, how to burn hex file in avr microcontroller using programmer and burner software.

List of components/software:

1. USBasp programmer
2. Target circuit board having microcontroller (mine have atmega328)
3. Avrdudes (Burner software)

Prerequisites:
USBasp driver installed in your system.
If it is not installed, then read instructions about installation from my previous post.
USBasp driver installation

Default fuse byte for atmega328 is: LFUSE = 0X62 and HFUSE = 0XD9. It might vary
This corresponds to internal rc oscillator

LFUSE = 0XFF and HFUSE = 0XDE

This corresponds to external oscillator having frequency 16 MHz
