Part 2: LCD, LED and OLED Screens

In this lecture we learn how to use HT16K33 4 digit display with Arduino. This is the king of all displays. you can use and display in unlimited possible way including integer like 245 or decimal value such as 25.6 or hex value such as FAB1.

 * Robojax Arduino Step By Step Course
 * Lesson 26 Introduction to DHT11 Temperature and Humidity sensor 
 
 * This is the Arduino code for  DHT11 module to read temprature and humidity
 * This code can display temprature in:
 * C is used to get Celsius
 * F is used to get fahrenheit
 * K is used for Kelvin
