Serial Interface IIC I2C TWI 2004 204 20x4 Char LCD Dis

Post by dandlion1 » Sun Jun 29, 2014 12:04 pm

I'm having trouble getting this display to work. I am using it with an Arduino Uno and an Arduino Duemillenova with the same result. I have loaded a "Hello World" test Sketch. The unit displays two rows of block characters (all pixels on) on the first and third rows. The backlight will blink once briefly, then go out.

Can you provide a sample Arduino sketch for this module?
