Adafruit support, Jessie Mae referred me here.
1) Tell us what product you are asking about, your Adafruit order number, and when you purchased the item.
Products I purchased and have some issue with:
- RGB backlight positive LCD 20x4 + extras (black on RGB) [ID:499]
- i2c / SPI character LCD backpack[ID:292]
Issue:
- The I2C backpack is not recognized as I2C device.
- Also looks like the LCD is not even powered on, despite being connected to the Pi.
I have done the same thing with other manufacture's I2C backpack and it works with no problem.
I believe that I assembled and wired them correctly.
I double-checked the wiring and it is correct. The LCD is the only device I connect to my Raspberry Pi Zero.
2) Post clear photos, focused, and detailed pictures of the front and back of the boards, as well as any connections to the board.
- photos attached
- wiring from I2C backpack to Raspberry Pi Zero:
- GND -> #6 GND (brown jumper)
- 5V -> #4 5V (red jumper)
- CLK -> #5 I2C SCL (yellow jumper)
- DAT -> #3 I2C SDA (green jumper)
3) For software issues, please post the complete text of your IDE's error message. Please use the [code] tag when posting error message as well as code.
