Hi gang,
If you're familiar with Arduino boards, care to help out a newbie?
I'm trying to go basic with a 16x2 LCD board, but all I can do is get it light up. I cannot get any text to display and I'm out of ideas.
here is my code along with my wiring. pardon the mess, this is after trying different wiring configuriations in an attempt to show myself I sucked at the solder job.
// include the library code:
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
// initialize the library with the numbers of the interface pins
LiquidCrystal lcd(12, 11, 5, 4, 3, 2);
void setup() {
// set up the LCD's number of columns and rows:
lcd.begin(16, 2);
// Print a message to the LCD.
lcd.print("hello, world!");
}
void loop() {
// set the cursor to column 0, line 1
// (note: line 1 is the second row, since counting begins with 0):
lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
// print the number of seconds since reset:
lcd.print(millis()/1000);
}
