# Atmega328p w/Arduino bootloader RGB LCD
## Introduction
This Project hosts the code for my project to make an LCD screen that will be controlled by the Atmega328p with the Arduino bootloader on it. I will be using various tutorials and guides and will provide the link to all of them in the Sources section below.
Essentially, this is a collection of all the resources you'll need to get the microcontroller to continually send and change messages on an LCD screen. I recommend soldering components to a protobroad and providing plugs for the pins when you want to reflash the code with new messages. It makes for a **great** gift if you make it look nice!
## Quick Reference Guide
1. Get all the gear you'll need
2. Test the LCD with the Raspberry Pi using the [Adafruit_Python_CharLCD](https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_CharLCD) library
* Alternatively you can test with the Arduino Uno using the [LiquidCrystal](http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/LiquidCrystal) library and Eliminate the need for the python library
3. Test the Atmega328p with the Raspberry Pi using a modified avrdude
```shell
cd /tmp
wget http://project-downloads.drogon.net/gertboard/avrdude_5.10-4_armhf.deb
sudo dpkg -i avrdude_5.10-4_armhf.deb
sudo chmod 4755 /usr/bin/avrdude
```
4. Link the LCD with the Atmega328p
## The Gear You'll Need
1. [Raspberry Pi](https://www.adafruit.com/product/1914) (Any model will work, I used the B+)
2. [Atmega328p w/ Arduino Bootloader](https://www.adafruit.com/products/123) (Grab 2 just in case you fry one)
3. [A Breadboard](https://www.adafruit.com/products/239)
4. [16 MHz Oscillator](https://www.adafruit.com/products/1873)
5. General Electronics Gear
* Jumper Wires
* Resistors
* Multimeter
* Pliers
* Anything Else You Expect Will Help
