PID 292 I2C LCD backpack unable to to see backlight

Post by vcoppola »

I purchased it with a PID 181 Standard LCD. I cannot get it to operate or even get the backlight to turn on. Here is the code. I have even tried address 0x00 as recommended, with no luck. Please advise:

Code: Select all

#include <Wire.h> 
#include <LiquidCrystal_I2C.h>
 #include <Adafruit_Sensor.h>

LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x20,16,2);  // set the LCD address to 0x20 for a 16 chars and 2 line display

void setup()
{

  lcd.init();                      // initialize the lcd 
 
  // Print a message to the LCD.
  lcd.backlight();
  lcd.print("Hello, world!");
  delay(500);
}

void loop()
{
   lcd.backlight();
  lcd.print("HelloAgain");
  delay(500);
}

My Mistake. I did not use the new library.
Sorry....Reboot. Hello World displays just fine now
