Hi everyone!
This is my first post! Hope it's not a hard one ...
I've been having a lot of trouble with my 16x1 character lcd module:
GTC16011 TR6N0C (bough from https://www.elfa.se/elfa-bin/dyndok.pl?lang=no&dok=6468.htm if thats of any interest). It just doesn't show anything.
I have read that you are supposed to get half of the lcd display to be blacked out while the other half is supposed to be white. Should this occur once you give the lcd power supply?
Also, when I hook the enable pin (pin 6) up to a 5V supply, the device gets hot ... i though this enable pin was supposed to be high-impedance mode and not much current thru? Is it broken, perhaps?
Appreciate all help! Thanks!
Kris
