Enamel pins are little portable pieces of art. Designers pour their creative hearts into producing them. You’ve invested time, money, and energy into curating your own collection of them.

We get it. It can be difficult to decide how to display enamel pins properly. But it’s time to pull your pins out of the shadows and create a mini-museum of your collection.

You can get corkboards in a huge range of sizes to fit your collection and available wall space. Even a simple corkboard can look great just by grouping and organizing your pins in an interesting fashion.

It can be difficult to point out certain pins in photos (“No, no ... it’s the third pin from the left on the second row from the bottom”). Here’s a creative solution that uses a simple grid on corkboard to help you pinpoint the exact pin of interest.

If you want to go full theme ahead, you could add a design that matches your pin collection. Here’s an example that uses a map as a background for travel pins.

Her example is a design for Disney #pinheads, but there are several useful tips no matter what shape you want to create. If you make your own custom pins, you can create a display board that matches what you make.

Cork isn’t the only material for fun and funky ways to display enamel pins. These pinsperational alternatives use wood, felt, foam, and other materials. If you’re crafty, there are some great ideas here to guide you. If not, a few of these are for sale.

Embroidery hoops hold fabric tight to make needlework easier. They work just as well for pins as they do for needles. The simplest versions of these pin displays make for an easy and cheap DIY project, but they are also a blank canvas ready for your creativity should you want to add detail.

Single-color fabrics work well, but you don’t have to stop there. This banner uses a fun celestial fabric that sets the right tone for the pins it’s presenting.

Shadow boxes and picture frames are perfect for showing off a themed collection of pins. You can find them for cheap at a craft store or even cheaper at a yard sale. It doesn’t take much work to turn a standard frame into a pin display if you want to do it yourself, and there are options ready to go if you don’t.

Decorative throw pillows and cushions have a lot of design space just waiting to be adorned with your favorite pins. Look for either thin cushions or removable pillowcases that allow you to secure your pin backs.

Most of the ideas for how to display enamel pins we’ve featured so far hang vertically. Pin stands let you decorate horizontal surfaces with your prized pin possessions. Some of these were made just to hold enamel pins. Some are the result of extremely creative repurposing.

A single-pin stand like this is ideal for the most valued pins in your collection. It is simple and sturdy and doesn’t draw attention away from the pin.

This tiny display case and itty bitty reading lamp perfectly frame Mink’s Lord of the Rings–themed enamel pins. Search Google for miniature furniture, musical instruments, and cabinets to get your mind rolling on ideas.

Credit where credit is due, we never thought about using Styrofoam forms to hold pins until we saw this ingenious triple-layer-cake pin stand on the Brite & Bubbly blog.

We already talked about how durable cork is, which makes it a good choice for poking with pins. This monstera-leaf pin stand makes use of that durability.

Once you’ve created a place for all your pins to shine, it’s time to find the next one to add to your collection. Where do you start looking? With this list of extremely rare, very expensive, or just really cool enamel pins.

Sarah Ashford is back with us today sharing a DIY Enamel Pin Banner Tutorial. Personally, I am so excited to make one of these for myself! I started collecting enamel pins a few years ago and am always looking for creative pin display ideas!  She’s even included a printable template for the banner with her tutorial! If you like this project then you may also like thisDIY Canvas Banner Tutorial.

Back in February, I was lucky enough to attend Quilt Con Pasadena, and meet a whole bunch of amazing people. There’s a fantastic tradition at Quilt Con of swapping pin badges and enamel pins, and I was lucky enough to score loads!

The enamel pins I think are particularly special, so I thought I’d make a pin badge banner to display them on, and I thought I’d share with you how I’ve made it. Now I can look at my lovely badges and remember all the fun and people I met every time I look at it.

First of all, print the template and cut it out. Draw around the template onto your chosen fabric twice, once for the front panel and once for the back.

Remove the dowel rod and using a matching colored thread, carefully slip stitch the sleeve to the banner, taking care to only take the stitches through the back panel of the banner and not the front.

In this tutorial, I’ll explain how to set up an LCD on an Arduino and show you all the different ways you can program it. I’ll show you how to print text, scroll text, make custom characters, blink text, and position text. They’re great for any project that outputs data, and they can make your project a lot more interesting and interactive.

The display I’m using is a 16×2 LCD display that I bought for about $5. You may be wondering why it’s called a 16×2 LCD. The part 16×2 means that the LCD has 2 lines, and can display 16 characters per line. Therefore, a 16×2 LCD screen can display up to 32 characters at once. It is possible to display more than 32 characters with scrolling though.

The code in this article is written for LCD’s that use the standard Hitachi HD44780 driver. If your LCD has 16 pins, then it probably has the Hitachi HD44780 driver. These displays can be wired in either 4 bit mode or 8 bit mode. Wiring the LCD in 4 bit mode is usually preferred since it uses four less wires than 8 bit mode. In practice, there isn’t a noticeable difference in performance between the two modes. In this tutorial, I’ll connect the LCD in 4 bit mode.

Here’s a diagram of the pins on the LCD I’m using. The connections from each pin to the Arduino will be the same, but your pins might be arranged differently on the LCD. Be sure to check the datasheet or look for labels on your particular LCD:

Also, you might need to solder a 16 pin header to your LCD before connecting it to a breadboard. Follow the diagram below to wire the LCD to your Arduino:

TheLiquidCrystal() function sets the pins the Arduino uses to connect to the LCD. You can use any of the Arduino’s digital pins to control the LCD. Just put the Arduino pin numbers inside the parentheses in this order:

This function sets the dimensions of the LCD. It needs to be placed before any other LiquidCrystal function in the void setup() section of the program. The number of rows and columns are specified as lcd.begin(columns, rows). For a 16×2 LCD, you would use lcd.begin(16, 2), and for a 20×4 LCD you would use lcd.begin(20, 4).

This function clears any text or data already displayed on the LCD. If you use lcd.clear() with lcd.print() and the delay() function in the void loop() section, you can make a simple blinking text program:

Similar, but more useful than lcd.home() is lcd.setCursor(). This function places the cursor (and any printed text) at any position on the screen. It can be used in the void setup() or void loop() section of your program.

The cursor position is defined with lcd.setCursor(column, row). The column and row coordinates start from zero (0-15 and 0-1 respectively). For example, using lcd.setCursor(2, 1) in the void setup() section of the “hello, world!” program above prints “hello, world!” to the lower line and shifts it to the right two spaces:

You can use this function to write different types of data to the LCD, for example the reading from a temperature sensor, or the coordinates from a GPS module. You can also use it to print custom characters that you create yourself (more on this below). Use lcd.write() in the void setup() or void loop() section of your program.

The function lcd.noCursor() turns the cursor off. lcd.cursor() and lcd.noCursor() can be used together in the void loop() section to make a blinking cursor similar to what you see in many text input fields:

Cursors can be placed anywhere on the screen with the lcd.setCursor() function. This code places a blinking cursor directly below the exclamation point in “hello, world!”:

This function creates a block style cursor that blinks on and off at approximately 500 milliseconds per cycle. Use it in the void loop() section. The function lcd.noBlink() disables the blinking block cursor.

This function turns on any text or cursors that have been printed to the LCD screen. The function lcd.noDisplay() turns off any text or cursors printed to the LCD, without clearing it from the LCD’s memory.

This function takes anything printed to the LCD and moves it to the left. It should be used in the void loop() section with a delay command following it. The function will move the text 40 spaces to the left before it loops back to the first character. This code moves the “hello, world!” text to the left, at a rate of one second per character:

Like the lcd.scrollDisplay() functions, the text can be up to 40 characters in length before repeating. At first glance, this function seems less useful than the lcd.scrollDisplay() functions, but it can be very useful for creating animations with custom characters.

lcd.noAutoscroll() turns the lcd.autoscroll() function off. Use this function before or after lcd.autoscroll() in the void loop() section to create sequences of scrolling text or animations.

This function sets the direction that text is printed to the screen. The default mode is from left to right using the command lcd.leftToRight(), but you may find some cases where it’s useful to output text in the reverse direction:

This code prints the “hello, world!” text as “!dlrow ,olleh”. Unless you specify the placement of the cursor with lcd.setCursor(), the text will print from the (0, 1) position and only the first character of the string will be visible.

This command allows you to create your own custom characters. Each character of a 16×2 LCD has a 5 pixel width and an 8 pixel height. Up to 8 different custom characters can be defined in a single program. To design your own characters, you’ll need to make a binary matrix of your custom character from an LCD character generator or map it yourself. This code creates a degree symbol (°):

We"ve sourced a new LCD screen especially for our Pico Display Pack - it"s a lovely, bright 18-bit capable 240x135 pixel IPS display and fits the Pico perfectly. We"ve surrounded it with four tactile buttons so you can easily interface your Pico with your human fingers and an RGB LED that you can use as an indicator, for notifications or just for adding extra rainbows.

Pico Display Pack communicates with the LCD display via SPI on pins LCD_CS, LCD_DC, LCD_SCLK, and LCD_MOSI. We also PWM the BL_EN pin (with gamma correction) for full, linear, backlight control. LCD_RESET is tied to the RUN pin on Pico so the LCD will be fully reset whenever Pico is.

There is also an onboard RGB LED (ideal to use an activity indicator!) which is also PWMed (with gamma correction) on pins LED_R, LED_G, and LED_B. If you want to use the LED pins for something else there are three cuttable traces on the underside of the board.

PIN connection is the most widely used connection because it is very steady. Unfortunately, not everyone is an expert at soldering. Every now and then, we can hear customers complaining about the high failure rate after the PINs were soldered on PCB. And I was always wondering if they did the soldering properly. More often than not, it’s the soldering problem. It’s not the quality problem of LCD screen itself. We feel it is our obligation to do some tests to help those who lack experience.

In order to test the impact of the soldering temperature, we deliberately made it 350 degrees Celsius far higher than the normal. The soldering iron head was placed at the distance of 4.0 mm from bottom of LCD screen.

One interesting idea was that we located the PIN which was responsible for the missing segments of LCD screen and re-soldered it with overheated temperature. Pulled the PIN down a little, which would make it temperately connect in normal again. We could see it displaying the whole diagram for a while. When we were glad that we fixed the LCD screen, the old problem repeated again. It was easy to understand because the overheated temperature damaged the glue and turned the chemical composition into something else. Now the LCD screen was completely damaged and was unrepairable.

Let us try another experiment. We soldered the perfectly normal LCD screen with overheated temperature. It was as sure as the sun comes from the east that the old missing segment problem recurred. I am going to remind everyone here don’t ever solder the PINs with overheated temperature because it will definitely cause the missing segment problem.

Let us hit the PINs with overheated temperature while we don’t use the UV glue to fasten the positions of the PINs. Wait. Is it possible not to use UV glue? Of course, it isn’t. It is never able to fasten the PINs without UV glue. This was just an experiment to explain what would happen in a hypothetical situation. Now we continued the experiment. We put a 350 degree Celsius soldering iron head directly on PIN for 10 seconds and more until the polarizer turned yellow. To our surprise, the LCD screen was working perfectly fine. Now we could conclude that it was UV glue which was overheated that caused the missing segments and other problems. But we can’t make a LCD screen without it.

1. The distance from the soldering iron head to the bottom of LCD screen should be at least 4.0 mm and the temperature should be below 260 degrees Celsius. The time should be less than 4 seconds for the soldering iron head on PINs to avoid making the glue bubble.

2. The soldering iron head should contact two adjacent PINs at the same time and make the heat transfer more evenly. It should form 30 degree angle with PINs because this will make contacting area larger and heat transfer faster. It will be a perfect heating condition if we can make the two adjacent PINs reach the same temperature at the same time.

3. It is forbidden to let the PINs bear any pressure while we are welding the PINs. In order to prevent the displacing of the PINs because of the pressure from outside, it is best if we lay the front surface of LCD screen flat on a table.

5. The two PINs on the two ends bear a greater tension and they are more likely to be damaged because of the pressure. We strongly suggest that we add two more extra PINs that are not connected on two ends to lighten the burden if the products have a high-quality requirement.

We come across Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) displays everywhere around us. Computers, calculators, television sets, mobile phones, and digital watches use some kind of display to display the time.

An LCD screen is an electronic display module that uses liquid crystal to produce a visible image. The 16×2 LCD display is a very basic module commonly used in DIYs and circuits. The 16×2 translates a display of 16 characters per line in 2 such lines. In this LCD, each character is displayed in a 5×7 pixel matrix.

Contrast adjustment; the best way is to use a variable resistor such as a potentiometer. The output of the potentiometer is connected to this pin. Rotate the potentiometer knob forward and backward to adjust the LCD contrast.

Sends data to data pins when a high to low pulse is given; Extra voltage push is required to execute the instruction and EN(enable) signal is used for this purpose. Usually, we set en=0, when we want to execute the instruction we make it high en=1 for some milliseconds. After this we again make it ground that is, en=0.

A 16X2 LCD has two registers, namely, command and data. The register select is used to switch from one register to other. RS=0 for the command register, whereas RS=1 for the data register.

Command Register: The command register stores the command instructions given to the LCD. A command is an instruction given to an LCD to do a predefined task. Examples like:

Data Register: The data register stores the data to be displayed on the LCD. The data is the ASCII value of the character to be displayed on the LCD. When we send data to LCD, it goes to the data register and is processed there. When RS=1, the data register is selected.

Generating custom characters on LCD is not very hard. It requires knowledge about the custom-generated random access memory (CG-RAM) of the LCD and the LCD chip controller. Most LCDs contain a Hitachi HD4478 controller.

CG-RAM address starts from 0x40 (Hexadecimal) or 64 in decimal. We can generate custom characters at these addresses. Once we generate our characters at these addresses, we can print them by just sending commands to the LCD. Character addresses and printing commands are below.

LCD modules are very important in many Arduino-based embedded system designs to improve the user interface of the system. Interfacing with Arduino gives the programmer more freedom to customize the code easily. Any cost-effective Arduino board, a 16X2 character LCD display, jumper wires, and a breadboard are sufficient enough to build the circuit. The interfacing of Arduino to LCD display is below.

The combination of an LCD and Arduino yields several projects, the most simple one being LCD to display the LED brightness. All we need for this circuit is an LCD, Arduino, breadboard, a resistor, potentiometer, LED, and some jumper cables. The circuit connections are below.

This tutorial shows how to use the I2C LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) with the ESP32 using Arduino IDE. We’ll show you how to wire the display, install the library and try sample code to write text on the LCD: static text, and scroll long messages. You can also use this guide with the ESP8266.

Additionally, it comes with a built-in potentiometer you can use to adjust the contrast between the background and the characters on the LCD. On a “regular” LCD you need to add a potentiometer to the circuit to adjust the contrast.

Before displaying text on the LCD, you need to find the LCD I2C address. With the LCD properly wired to the ESP32, upload the following I2C Scanner sketch.

Displaying static text on the LCD is very simple. All you have to do is select where you want the characters to be displayed on the screen, and then send the message to the display.

The next two lines set the number of columns and rows of your LCD display. If you’re using a display with another size, you should modify those variables.

Scrolling text on the LCD is specially useful when you want to display messages longer than 16 characters. The library comes with built-in functions that allows you to scroll text. However, many people experience problems with those functions because:

In a 16×2 LCD there are 32 blocks where you can display characters. Each block is made out of 5×8 tiny pixels. You can display custom characters by defining the state of each tiny pixel. For that, you can create a byte variable to hold  the state of each pixel.

In summary, in this tutorial we’ve shown you how to use an I2C LCD display with the ESP32/ESP8266 with Arduino IDE: how to display static text, scrolling text and custom characters. This tutorial also works with the Arduino board, you just need to change the pin assignment to use the Arduino I2C pins.

Pins20 pins for external connectors on desktops, notebooks, graphics cards, monitors, etc. and 30/20 pins for internal connections between graphics engines and built-in flat panels.

It is the first display interface to rely on packetized data transmission, a form of digital communication found in technologies such as Ethernet, USB, and PCI Express. It permits the use of internal and external display connections. Unlike legacy standards that transmit a clock signal with each output, its protocol is based on small data packets known as micro packets, which can embed the clock signal in the data stream, allowing higher resolution using fewer pins.

DisplayPort version 1.2a was released in January 2013Adaptive Sync.AMD"s CES 2014 on a Toshiba Satellite laptop by making use of the Panel-Self-Refresh (PSR) feature from the Embedded DisplayPort standard,

12 pins for the main link – the main link consists of four shielded twisted pairs. Each pair requires 3 pins; one for each of the two wires, and a third for the shield.: §4.1.2, p183 (pins 1–12)

Standard DisplayPort cable connections do not use the DP_PWR pin. Connecting the DP_PWR pins of two devices directly together through a cable can create a short circuit which can potentially damage devices, since the DP_PWR pins on two devices are unlikely to have exactly the same voltage (especially with a ±10% tolerance).1.1 and later standards specify that passive DisplayPort-to-DisplayPort cables must leave pin 20 unconnected.: §3.2.2

Single-link DVI only – Since DisplayPort dual-mode operates by using the pins of the DisplayPort connector to send DVI/HDMI signals, the 20-pin DisplayPort connector can only produce a single-link DVI signal (which uses 19 pins). A dual-link DVI signal uses 25 pins, and is therefore impossible to transmit natively from a DisplayPort connector through a passive adapter. Dual-link DVI signals can only be produced by converting from native DisplayPort output signals with an active conversion device.

Direct Drive Monitor (DDM) 1.0 standard was approved in December 2008. It allows for controller-less monitors where the display panel is directly driven by the DisplayPort signal, although the available resolutions and color depth are limited to two-lane operation.

Embedded DisplayPort (eDP) is a display panel interface standard for portable and embedded devices. It defines the signaling interface between graphics cards and integrated displays. The various revisions of eDP are based on existing DisplayPort standards. However, version numbers between the two standards are not interchangeable. For instance, eDP version 1.4 is based on DisplayPort 1.2, while eDP version 1.4a is based on DisplayPort 1.3. In practice, embedded DisplayPort has displaced LVDS as the predominant panel interface in modern laptops and modern smartphones.

eDP 1.0 was adopted in December 2008.Hz sequential color monitors, and a new display panel control protocol that works through the AUX channel.framebuffer memory in the display panel controller.Version 1.5 was published in October 2021; adds new features and protocols, including enhanced support for Adaptive-Sync, that provide additional power savings and improved gaming and media playback performance.

Internal DisplayPort (iDP) 1.0 was approved in April 2010. The iDP standard defines an internal link between a digital TV system on a chip controller and the display panel"s timing controller. It aims to replace currently used internal FPD-Link lanes with a DisplayPort connection.GHz clock and is nominally rated at 3.24Gbit/s per lane, with up to sixteen lanes in a bank, resulting in a six-fold decrease in wiring requirements over FPD-Link for a 1080p24 signal; other data rates are also possible. iDP was built with simplicity in mind so doesn"t have an AUX channel, content protection, or multiple streams; it does however have frame sequential and line interleaved stereo 3D.
