Display Potentiometer Readings on LCD Display

In this tutorial, we will learn how to display the potentiometer readings on LCD Display using Arduino. With the help of this tutorial, you can also display sensor values ​​on the LCD.

We will use an LCD 16×2 display in this tutorial and we will need two potentiometers, one to adjust the LCD brightness and one to get readings.

The Arduino uses an analog pin to read the sensor values. So the potentiometer we want to read will connect it to the analog pin of the Arduino.
