Heya all,
I'm new to this forum and i stumbled upon it while searching for help on Google about LCD screens.
The LCD screen i'm mentioning is not those LCD monitors, it is those smaller electronic screens, which i think most of the forum members here would be familiar with
The LCD screen i'm using for my project is a 2x16 display(16 pins) and i'm using an Atmel 8952 microcontroller to interface it with a 4x4 keypad. the problem is, after i burn a test program into the 8952 to test the LCD, there is not a single display on it. I think i had setup the LCD connections correctly into the controller, but still there is no display at all. I'm using 5V to power the controller and also the LCD. The test program i used is from a book and i dont think the program could be faulty. Also, before i connect the LCD to the controller, i did some test on the controller to see if it has any problem and it turns out fine.
Is this because of the LCD screen is faulty? Are there any ways to test the LCD screens without using a controller?
lastly, please bear with me, i'm new to electronics and i'm an eager learner, but i know my electronic 'terms' used sounds very noob, so please correct me if i'm wrong, thanks alot!!
