Hello. I’m hoping I can obtain some help with programming a circuit. I’m designing an ambient light sensor with a digital display showing the amount of lux detected. I have ordered a digital display that comes with a HD44780 chip included in it. Here is the webpage for the digital display I have ordered:

Well I have never programmed before and I’m hoping I can learn a few things from the people here at this forum. I’m not sure but is it just as easy as ordering a photo sensor and getting the correct program for it to communicate with the digital screen to display the lux? If so, can someone please recommend a possible photo sensor or schematic for my application?
If someone would respond I would GREATLY appreciate the help. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
