Hello There.
I bought a Arduino Kit Last year, and I am experimenting with the LCD Display Just today.
I wrote the code I got in the Guide, and compiled it, and it was fine.
I tried Uploading it, and I ran into an issue with my Display. Nothing was seen.
I roated the 10k Preset, and was able to adjust the contrast on it. Now, instead of the Characters, all I am Seeing is Just Boxes.
I Checked the wiring that was given multiple times, and yet see no Issues.
Using the examples provided in the IDE, I managed to Pinpoint the issue to just the Text part of the Display, and that the Backlight works fine enough.
How do I Proceed now? I was just testing this LCD Display, for a different project, which I need To submit in Two weeks. Quick Support would be Appreciated.
I Will attach images of the Instructions and Wiring given in the book, Along with the current state of my LCD.
[Yes, All the blocks do work. Just that when I took the photo, the other blocks were not used by the Code]
This was the code I got in the book. In case it is not legible from the Photo.
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>;
LiquidCrystal MyLCD (12,11,5, 4, 3, 2);
void setup ()
{
MyLCD.begin (16,2);
MyLCD.home ();
MyLCD.print ("Hello World");
MyLCD.setCursor (0,1);
MyLCD.print ("16x2LCD");
}
void loop ()
{
}
Thanking you in Advance.
