    There is a custom library involved.
    Code:
    LiquidCrystal lcd(0);
    This instantiates a new object of type LiquidCrystal. Looks like it's on pins A0 - A2 and uses an I2C bus to communicate. I am not overly familiar with the Arduino (I am a .NET developer), but it seems like you'd need a LCD that uses I2C.

    To use the LCD that is used within the sketch you will need to purchase the Adafruit LCD backpack for $10. The backpack uses I2C where as the parallel LCD would use up too many pins on the Uno.

    Hi, first of all, thanks so much for sharing your hard work, much appreciated.

    Which IDE did you use to compile? I am getting errors with the 1.0.5 version. Will not even get past the "LiquidCrystal lcd(0);" ,lol. :o
