Good evening,
I’m trying to print some text to an 16x2 LCD bought here in seeedstudio. Model is LCD103B6B http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/lcd-162-characters-green-yellow-back-light-p-62.html?cPath=93_98
I’ve modified the code in “scroll” example as explained in that page, but nothing. I’m running and arduino 21 ide and relative lcd library (for Hitahi chipset, should be compatible with mine).
Here the code:
[code]/*
LiquidCrystal Library - scrollDisplayLeft() and scrollDisplayRight()
Demonstrates the use a 16x2 LCD display. The LiquidCrystal
library works with all LCD displays that are compatible with the
Hitachi HD44780 driver. There are many of them out there, and you
can usually tell them by the 16-pin interface.
This sketch prints “Hello World!” to the LCD and uses the
scrollDisplayLeft() and scrollDisplayRight() methods to scroll
the text.
The circuit:
- LCD RS pin to digital pin 12
- LCD Enable pin to digital pin 11
- LCD D4 pin to digital pin 5
- LCD D5 pin to digital pin 4
- LCD D6 pin to digital pin 3
- LCD D7 pin to digital pin 2
- 10K resistor:
- ends to +5V and ground
- wiper to LCD VO pin (pin 3)

*/
// include the library code:
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
// initialize the library with the numbers of the interface pins
LiquidCrystal lcd(12, 11, 5, 4, 3, 2);
void setup() {
// set up the LCD’s number of columns and rows:
lcd.begin(8, 2);
// Print a message to the LCD.
lcd.print(“hello, world!”);
delay(1000);
}
void loop() {
// scroll 13 positions (string length) to the left
// to move it offscreen left:
for (int positionCounter = 0; positionCounter < 13; positionCounter++) {
// scroll one position left:
lcd.scrollDisplayLeft();
// wait a bit:
delay(150);
}
// scroll 29 positions (string length + display length) to the right
// to move it offscreen right:
for (int positionCounter = 0; positionCounter < 29; positionCounter++) {
// scroll one position right:
lcd.scrollDisplayRight();
// wait a bit:
delay(150);
}
// scroll 16 positions (display length + string length) to the left
// to move it back to center:
for (int positionCounter = 0; positionCounter < 16; positionCounter++) {
// scroll one position left:
lcd.scrollDisplayLeft();
// wait a bit:
delay(150);
}
// delay at the end of the full loop:
delay(1000);
}
[/code]
and the hardware
Driver is an S6A0069
How should be?
Thanks really a lot.
