Figure 22: System Diagram for LCD Interfacing 1.3.2. Background It is possible to draw either a horizontal or a vertical bar graph in the 2X16 LCD modules. Each of the grids is 8 pixels high and 5 pixels wide. Each of these can be used as a unit measure for the graph. Since, it is possible to graph up to 80 units on the horizontal and only 16 units on the vertical the data need to be scaled accordingly.
