For more details, visit: https://techzeero.com/arduino-tutorials/display-potentiometer-readings-on-lcd-display/
The circuit:
* LCD RS pin to digital pin 12
* LCD Enable pin to digital pin 11
* LCD D4 pin to digital pin 5
* LCD D5 pin to digital pin 4
* LCD D6 pin to digital pin 3
* LCD D7 pin to digital pin 2
* LCD R/W pin to ground
* LCD VSS pin to ground
* LCD VCC pin to 5V
* 10K resistor:
* ends to +5V and ground
* wiper to LCD VO pin (pin 3)
Second Potentiometer connection with Arduino
* Potentiometer 5v to Arduino 5v
* Potentiometer GND to Arduino GND
* Potentiometer Wiper/Vout to Arduino A0(Analog pin 0)
