I am working with 16x2 LCD with SparkFun SerLCD backpack. I found that I have to disconnect backpack rx input from Arduino Tx while uploading new sketch into Ard, as well while just applying power to Arduino board (that is, just connecting it to USB or battery). Otherwise there is a lot of garbage…
