#Session 6
##Liquic Crystal Character Display (LCD)
We'll be working with LCD Displays. The display is the RGB 16x2 display from Adafruit: https://www.adafruit.com/products/399
I'll have several available. We will solder the pins on to a header, place it in a breadboard, and then wire it up. We'll use the Arduino LCD library and adjust the red, green, blue background colors.
We need to get things set up like the previous session. Here's all the info on that.
