I'm using serial communication to display the the data to my 4x20 lcd display. When I filled up all the lines of course I need to clear it. I've search over the net and found something like:

This starts serial communication, so that the Arduino can send out commands through the USB connection. The value 9600 is called the 'baud rate' of the connection. This is how fast the data is to be sent. You can change this to a higher value, but you will also have to change the Arduio Serial monitor to the same value.

  1. This part of the Arduino programming course shows how to get data into an Arduino sketch from the serial port. Data can be sent to the Arduino from the Serial Monitor window in the Arduino IDE. A user can enter data in the input field in the serial monitor window to send values and data to the Arduino.

  3. R/arduino: A place for all things Arduino! Uno 6 years ago. Clear the Serial Monitor. Hey guys, I am sure you have heard this one alot, but I am searching all of the place for the answer with no luck. Is there a command such as Serial.clear; that clears the Serial Monitor? Thanks for the.
  4. Arduino Workshop - Chapter Two - Using Serial Monitor. We'll be looking at using the serial port on the Arduino to communicate with a computer via USB. 22-what is serial monitor in Arduino.

But it doesn't work. I also found a solution like Serial.println(); but that solution (cheat as they called it) will only work on a serial monitor. So is there any possible solution to clear the display or delete a single character from the LCD?

Did you try lcd.clear()? It says in the documentation here that this command does the following:

Clears the LCD screen and positions the cursor in the upper-left corner.

Obviously, you'll need the lcd variable (known as a LiquidCrystal object) to use this method. See how to create that here and a basic implementation below. Repair installshield windows 10 free. Perhaps you can add a time delay after lcd.print('hello, world!'); and then add lcd.clear(); (just as a basic proof-of-concept.)

Review the full LiquidCrystal reference for all its methods and additional examples.

I found a quick solution for my problem

Office 2010 downloads are available again after pausing for more than one year! Microsoft office 2007 torrent download.

for (int i=0; i < 80; i++) { Serial.write(8); // print 80 times forward (BS)}

if you have larger display just increase the value of the loop. As my observation in the serial monitor The cursor pushes forward until the line is clear (based on your loop). but this will not allow you to delete a single character in your display.


Did you try sending 12 (0x0C) as detailed in this Arduino Playground 0 SerialLCD posting

see above link for other commands.

The best way I find is to simply add the following line to your sketch:

Arduino Clear Serial Monitor Output

This will make the lcd display clear out.
