WORKING
Welcome to this Arduino Based LCD shield Module. This particular circuit also consists of 1 Channel 5V Relay Module to control the LCD. The 5V Pin of Arduino Mega is connected to the positive rail and ground to the negative rail on breadboard. The GND pin of all the 5V relay are attached to negative rail and VCC to positive rail on breadboard. Connect IN of relay 1 to the D30, IN of relay 2 to D31, IN of relay 3 to D32 and IN of relay 4 to the D33 of Arduino Mega.
It’s a simple code to control 4 relays with a keypad LCD shield for Arduino. You can add any device and the code is easy to modify. Just wire it up like the schematic, upload the code and it should work. If things don't work you probably don't have the library LiquidCrystal.h installed. (so you can download from Arduino IDE software SKETCH --> LIBRARY --> MANAGE LIBRARY Search for this Library where you uploaded the code).
