 PIN1 or VSS to ground.

 PIN2 or VDD or VCC to +5v power.

 PIN3 or VEE to ground (gives maximum contrast best for a beginner).

 PIN4 or RS (Register Selection) to PIN12 of ARDUINO UNO.

 PIN5 or RW (Read/Write) to ground (puts LCD in read mode eases the

communication for user).

 PIN6 or E (Enable) to PIN10 of ARDUINO UNO.

 PIN11 or D4 to PIN5 of ARDUINO UNO.

 PIN12 or D5 to PIN4 of ARDUINO UNO.

 PIN13 or D6 to PIN3 of ARDUINO UNO.

 PIN14 or D7 to PIN2 of ARDUINO UNO.

 PIN15 to +5V with 221 ohm resistor in series.

 And the last PIN16 to ground.

/*
ReadAnalogVoltage

Reads an analog input on pin 0, converts it to voltage, and prints the

result to the Serial Monitor.
 Graphical representation is available using Serial Plotter (Tools >
Serial Plotter menu).
Attach the center pin of a potentiometer to pin A0, and the outside pins
to +5V and ground.

This example code is in the public domain.

// the setup routine runs once when you press reset:

Serial.begin(9600);

// the loop routine runs over and over again forever:

// read the input on analog pin 0:
int sensorValue = analogRead(A0);
// Convert the analog reading (which goes from 0 - 1023) to a voltage (0
- 5V):
float voltage = sensorValue * (5.0 / 1023.0);
