lcd.clear() problems

Other Hardware Displays
1

Hi,
I expect following code to blink "Hello" on the screen:

void loop()
{
lcd.print("Hello");
delay(1000);
lcd.clear();
delay(1000);
}

Instead, what I see is: HelloHelloHelloHello all the way through. Obviously, the clear() command never works.

The way I set up my lcd is:
LiquidCrystal lcd(1, 8, 4, 5, 6, 7);

That is, the data pins are 4, 5, 6, 7. The rs bin is 1. The en pin is 8.

Thanks in advance.

Pin 1 is for the serial port. Try using a different pin.
