LiquidCrystal Library is missing Example "CustomCharacter"

Open TheOldBrick opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

The LiquidCrystal library in the Arduino IDE provides several examples, including "CustomCharacter". However, the "CustomCharacter" example is not described in the reference (https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/LiquidCrystal).

New users might be confused without proper documentation because the example requires two 10K potentiometers.

Can I work on this too, please?

Hello there @TheOldBrick, we have recently migrated the examples to this page (you will find all LCD examples here now), and I just added the "CustomCharacter" example.

Thanks @karlsoderby! Should a link to the examples also be added to the LiquidCrystal library reference home page, consistent with how it is done in some of the other library references (example)?

As it is now, I think it will be difficult for the users researching the LiquidCrystal library to find the associated tutorials. I had a bit of trouble finding it in docs.arduino.cc myself even though I knew the approximate location from the path in the repository.
