I try to get a 16x2 Displaytech 162A LCD running with my Arduino Uno using the LiquidCrystal library
using Arduino 1.0.3.
I googled around, but am not sure about the wiring.
When I turn my Arduino on, the LCD backlight is on (green)and on one line i see dark blocks, the second line is empty.
Wiring information is included in the code.
Try with an empty loop() function, concentrate on getting hello world to display. Alternatively, add a delay(1000) call in loop so that you are not constantly rewriting new data to the lcd.
Hi durpex,
I don't have the spec for the LCD here but something does look odd. You have pin 6 on the LCD connected to pin 10 on the arduino, but no where in the code are doing anything with pin 10.
(?)
Hi again,
Yeah, it looks like you should be calling the lcd constructor with LCD pins 4,6,11,12,13,14 or for your assignments arduino pins 12,10,5,4,3,2. And I think the LCD pin 5 needs to be tied low.

This is close but not exactly correct.
You have seven connections between your Arduino I/O pins and the LCD module so you need seven entries in the constructor.
