RGB 16x2 LCD Shield No Text

Post by Steve_Austro »

Hi I'm new to all this only started Soldering this year
for what i have read its the joins of solder that is the problem but i'm not sure if that is the case for me!
as i have gone over all of them and i still don't have text displaying



here are some picture of the Shield

i noticed that in Adafruit_RGBLCDShield.h that Print.h is surrounded by quotation not < >

#include <inttypes.h>
#include "Print.h"
#include <Adafruit_MCP23017.h>

That all looks good. Have you tried adjusting the contrast pot (yellow knob in lower right)

Ha! Just been down the same path. Put it together, colours work but no text. Then I read this :-) Thanks Rick
