2 Connecting an LCD to our computer - 6502 part 4
Recommended for learning how common 16x2 LCD modules are initialised and driven, with Ben Eater working through the datasheet and control signals as part of a breadboard computer series.
3 How to model a MOSFET using a datasheet.
Offered as a practical walkthrough for deriving a SPICE MOSFET model from datasheet values when no ready-made model is available for a part.
4 (Sponsored) How To Write A Driver (STM32, I2C, Datasheet) - Phil's Lab #30
Recommended as a clear worked example of turning a datasheet into an I2C driver on STM32, with a structure that carries over to other chips.
5 EEVblog #1074 - Custom LCD Design - Part 2 - (µSupply Part 17)
The second instalment of the EEVblog custom LCD series, reviewing the maker's approval datasheet and test considerations, and valued as part of following a cheap prototype display through.
6 Datasheets: 16x2 LCD By Hand (No microcontroller)
Mitch Davis shows how to read a character LCD datasheet and drive the display manually, recommended as a grounding for embedded learners.
7 Breaking Free of the Limitations of Arduino
Part of a video series on programming an Arduino's AVR chip without its libraries, valued by one beginner for teaching datasheet reading on hardware already owned.
