In this tutorial will learn how to make Lcd custom character with PIC16F877A Microcontroller. Here I am use mikroC PRO for  PIC compiler for code editing.

You can watch the video or read the written tutorial below.

 








Create a custom character use for LCD(Liquid Crystal Display). Up to eight characters of 5x8 pixels are supported.

Mikro C pro for PIC provide to create a custom character for LM16X2 Lcd display.
