how can i do this ?

its not moving either clockwise or anti clockwise

Do what? Adjust the contrast pot or insulate those bare wires?

To adjust the contrast pot, use a small screwdriver or similar instrument to turn the slotted bit in the center of the pot while observing the display. Text or blocks should appear. Keep adjusting till you can clearly see the blocks or text.

got it thank you
does the connection and code is fine?

I cannot tell if the connections are good by the photos. I cannot see where all of the wires go. If you draw a schematic or wiring diagram it would be more useful. Draw the schematic by hand, photograph and post it is fine.

In the interest of getting the display to work I would recommend that you forget about your code for the moment and run the "Hello World" example from the LCD library that you have installed.

thank you very very much going to try this

but this hello word not coming to check display

try to adjust final limit this appear

So adjusting the contrast had no effect? The display should show the blocks with just the power connected (SDA and SCL not connected at all). If the blocks are not showing and the contrast has been adjusted end to end the LCD is probably dead.


LCD with only power connected, SDA and SCL disconnected

Until you see the blocks there is no use trying any programs.

i have this also please can you tell how to make connection now no SDA and SCL

That display is missing the I2C backpack. You could buy one and solder it in place. Or you could solder a header to the LCD and wire and use it in the 4 bit (or 8 bit) parallel mode.

What did you do to make it work? It may help the person that finds this thread on the future.
