About: Electronics are a newly re-found hobby for me. I'm not an engineer - I'm an ordinary guy who likes to tinker with electronics in his free time. You can see more about my projects at www.meanpc.com.
In this video instructable, I show how to hook a cheap 16X2 LCD display up to an Arduino, then a TI Launchpad MSP430 running Energia, then a breadboarded MSP430.
These displays are cheap - I got mine for $2.26 shipped on eBay. They only require 6 i/o pins from your microcontroller, and are compatible with EVERYTHING since they use the HD44780 controller.
