Hello there! so i followed the hello world tutorial( https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/LibraryExamples/HelloWorld ) but i cant get text on my lcd. The backlight with pot meter works just fine, just no text. I also looked at some other threads that had a similar problem like mine but that also didn't…

your breadboard is cut in the middle [image] so GND and POWER don't go through you need to put small wires to ensure continuity

Only backlight on LCD[solved]
