This post is about building a simple 0-5V 3 digit voltmeter using Arduino UNO compatible board and 4×20 LCD display. This design should also work on all similar boards, I’ve tested it on Arduino Mega and UNO boards.  No additional components are required. The Arduino sketch for this project may look different from what you … Read more
