LCD not showing Text but shows boxes[SOLVED]

Using Arduino Displays
#1

I’m having issues with my 16X2 LCD only showing squares instead of the text I have it saying.

The code I am using is:

#include <Servo.h>

#include <LiquidCrystal.h>


int pos = 0;

const int Y_pin = 1; // analog pin connected to Y output

Servo myservo;

LiquidCrystal lcd(7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12);

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
  Serial.begin(9600); 
  
  myservo.attach(6);
  
  lcd.begin(16, 2);
  lcd.print("Servo Controll");
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
   Serial.print("Y-axis: ");
   Serial.print(analogRead(Y_pin));
   Serial.print("\n");
   delay(100);
   
   lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
   lcd.print("Y Pos: ");

   
}

I wired the LCD With the folowing connections:
(format of wiring: Arduino pin to LCD pin)D7 to RS, D8 to E, D9 to D4, D10 to D5, D11 to D6, D12 to D7, VCC(5V) to A/ VDD, GND to VSS/ RW/ K, V0 to a 10K potentometer.

Did I wire it up wrong?
(Yes I know that I am usind the sereal monitor)
(The code is in development)

servocontroll.ino (604 Bytes)

Rewiring solved it

Where have we heard that before?

(Yes I know that I am usind the sereal monitor)

Should that be ‘surreal’ or ‘cereal’?
