Everything Else » LCD shows boxes but not letters or words
May 21, 2011 by K7JRE |
Got new nerdkit, but got no congradulations, just two rows of boxes on the LCD. I cannot tell the difference between the resistors that came 3 to a group and 4 to a group. Is one orange and the other red? Which packing group (3 to group or 4 to group) is Orange? I can get no power to LCD when using row 28 as instructed. JimE K7JRE jeddington@bresnan.net |

Hi K7JRE, Based on your description, my guess is there is a wiring error somewhere. The two rows of black boxes on the LCD tells me the LCD just isn't getting data. If you can post a few good close up pictures of your setup, we will do what we can to point you in the right direction. Humberto |
