Use only 3 pins to connect LCD 1602 to Arduino Uno

Every detail of how to connect your LCD 1602 using only 3 pins to Arduino Uno are show in the schematic.  A simple code is attached and libraries. It works perfect. 

To connect the LCD 1602 to the breadboard first you need to solder some Pin Headers to it.

 

Components:

LCD 1602

10K Potentiometer

PN2222A or BC547 NPN

74HC595 Shift Register

 

Breadboard

Male-Male Jumper Wires

 

If you can improve this project let me know, so I can made changes.

 

Thanks.
