Online lcd custom character font generator with binary and hex codes for Arduino lcd displays

ADVERTISEMENT

This can be used to generate fonts and patterns for using with arduino sketches. Insert the generated codes in the font or pattern definitions in the sketch. Both forms will work and the hex form will keep the source code small and neat. For example, see the following direct drive sketch. To generate a pattern , click on the grid and toggle it to on (1). Once you are done with the font / pattern, copy the binary values or hex values to your sketch
