How to make a calculator using arduino uno

How to make a calculator using arduino uno

Overview

A calculator is a device used to solve mathematical problems easily and in a fast way this calculator can Add, Subtract, Multiply, and Divide. 

In this project, we have used a (4*4) keypad to take input and an LCD to show output. A potentiometer is also used to adjust the LCD to show the output. Keys used 

A – Addition

B – Subtract

C – Multiplication

D – Divide

Hardware required 

  1. Arduino Uno R3
  2. Potentiometer
  3. Keypad 4*4
  4. Resistor
  5. LCD
  6. Jumper Wires

void DisplayResult()

Precautions

  1. Connections should be done properly.
  2. Arduino is case sensitive so code accordingly.
  3. Give different colours to the wires.
  4. Adjust potentiometer to get output on LCD.
