You Reply: Thanks Hector
I am using Ardunio-0022, which is the latest version on the Arduino.cc web site. The code I am using for this initial hello world project is the DFRobot sample code for the LCD1602. I have not changed a thing. Here is the code in its entirety:
[code]///Arduino Sample Code
///www.DFRobot.com
///Last modified on 17th September 2010
#include <Wire.h>
#include <LiquidCrystal_I2C.h>
LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x27,16,2); // set the LCD address to 0x27 for a 16 chars and 2 line display
void setup()
{
lcd.init(); // initialize the lcd
// Print a message to the LCD.
lcd.backlight();
//lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
lcd.print("Hello, world!");
}
void loop()
{
// when characters arrive over the serial port...
if (Serial.available()) {
// wait a bit for the entire message to arrive
delay(100);
// clear the screen
lcd.clear();
// read all the available characters
while (Serial.available() > 0) {
// display each character to the LCD
lcd.write(Serial.read());
}
}
}[/code]
As you can see, the include line is [font=courier]#include LiquidCrystal_I2C.[/font]h, which I can only assume is specific to the DFRobot 1602 display and driver.
Am I off base?
Thank you as well for the Syncplicity suggestion.
