Mini Task Manager Using Arduino Nano and 16×2 LCD

To create a simple task management system using an Arduino Nano, 16×2 LCD, and two push buttons. The system allows the user to move through different tasks and mark tasks as completed.

Both buttons are connected to GND and use the Arduino's internal INPUT_PULLUP resistors.

The project uses two buttons to control the task manager.

NEXT Button – D10

Pressing the NEXT button moves to the next task.

After the last task, the system returns to the first task.

COMPLETE Button – D12

Pressing the COMPLETE button marks the currently selected task as completed.

For example:

After pressing the COMPLETE button:

Then the LCD returns to:

Progress Counter

The program keeps track of how many tasks have been completed.

For example:

means 2 out of 5 tasks are completed.

The program prevents the same task from being counted twice.

LCD Display

The LCD displays the selected task on the first line and its status on the second line.

Tasks Used

The program contains five tasks:

1. C++ Practice
2. Arduino
3. Math Study
4. Gym
5. Office Work

The Mini Task Manager is a simple and useful Arduino project that demonstrates how buttons and an LCD can be combined to create an interactive task-management system. The user can select tasks, mark them as completed, and monitor overall progress using the LCD.
