Adding an Sainsmart IIC/I2C/TWI 1602 Serial LCD Module Display readout to the Arduino.

LCD mounted on Woody Bot The Sainsmart IIC/I2C/TWI 1602 Serial LCD Module Display module allows you to display information directly on your project and also gives you the ability to interact with the Arduino directly by adding a few switches here and there. Having this ability is a great way to troubleshoot your project and have it interact with others.

What size, color and interface type do you want. Size is relevant to how much data you want to display at once. Color is personal preference mostly. Interface is largely a choice the number of free inputs/outputs left on your project and your technical abilities. I started by trying to add an old 16x2 display I had from an old plotter.

The best one in my opinion was the modification referred to as the Roadwing. Which is basically taking the hydraulically adjustable preload shock from the rear of a Honda Goldwing, modifying it and installing it in place of the stock Roadwing shock. In essence giving you pre-load that is adjustable at the touch of a switch, or a manual RAP (more later on that). This is instead of the factory way of setting the preload with wrench's and adjusting nuts. Doing this every time you switch from 1-up to 2 up riding and vise-a-verse is ridiculous. With this mod you can switch the pre-load in seconds with the press of a button. Before you are going to be able to install the shock you need to collect a few thi...
