Help with Arduino Ethernet Shield and a LCD shield
Hello, I am connecting the Arduino Ethernet Shield + the Adafruit LCD Shield. The Ethernet shield uses Pins 10,11,12,13 with the LCD shield uses Pins 8, 9, 4, 5 , 6,7 and I run the example DhcpAddressPrinter. However when I open the serial monitor I do not get the IP address and LCD background light goes dim but when I take the LCD shield out and run the sketch again, the IP address gets printed out. Moreover when the Ethernet shield and LED shield is stacked.The LCD shield itself is working just fine. Am I doing something wrong. Please guide. Much appreciated.

Which LCD shield are you using? We have more than one.

Yes, I do apologize. I am talking about the shield that is the Blue and White 16X2 Character LCD. I hope this clear. Do help me out as this Shield does not work when connected with the Ethernet Shield as stated in the previous post. Much appreciated.

\I am talking about the shield that is the Blue and White 16X2 Character LCD.
That shield only uses pins A4 and A5. It should not interfere with the Ethernet shield.

Re: Help with Arduino Ethernet Shield and a LCD shield
I apologize for the double post. However the LCD shield does interfere with the Ethernet shield. The LCD shield mentioned uses 6 pins to be controlled, unlike the newer one that only uses 2 pins. Is there a way around this?

Re: Help with Arduino Ethernet Shield and a LCD shield
That is not one of our shields. You will have to contact the seller or manufacturer for help with that.
