Hi, and Test!

Code: Select all

Test successful, beginning presentation...
I have something to tell you, something that I'm not proud of: I suck at electronics! I did a bunch of voltage-dividers in high-school, and then nothing more. I write C++ code for a living, but I want to have some hardware fun now, that's why I bought an Arduino board, and I'm reading All About Circuits at the same time.

I have 2 cats, and a stupid LCD display that does not work (yet? I'll debug it this evening)

Oh, I almost forgot, frist post in my own post, woohoo!

Thank you very much! The LCD is working now with one line only, I thought I had to put 5V "in" the contrast pin, when in reality it was an "out" pin, plugged to the ground. I'm still guessing why both lines are dimmed when displayed at the same time, maybe I'll have to add a potentiometer somewhere...
