Actually I am doing a project smart parking system I need lcd for it.iam using Arduino UNO Lcd 16×2.address 27 verified.Lcd display is showing these boxes iam trying since 1 day
I have installed hd44780 and liquid crystal i2c libraries I also checked and rotated potentiometer to the max contrast but it's showing text

No. Just no.

try 0x27 instead of 0*27

you may also need a Wire.begin(); before lcd.init()

  • And fix this:

Thank you so much

but the text is not clear even if i rotate the potentiometer

try a adjusting contrast to a lower value.
alternately you can try to wiggle the wires looking for bad connections.

Without the backlight jumper installed, I'm not at all surprised.

Backlight jumper??
Could you please explain how to do it

Van Der Decken, you have a keen eye, that's for sure!
