Hi all,
I got my self an Adafruit 16x2 LCD display, put it all together, plugged it in and it won't turn on, not even the backlight. I was wondering if someone had experience with the LCD and don't mind helping me.
I got two of the PINE64 while back for my OBDII project as well as for a another project for the kitchen and its been on the shelf for a while. I have no experience with GPIOs or I2C and recently got socked in to experiment with it. From what I read, PINE64 pins are same as it on Raspberry Pi and I though that the LCD would be compatible with PINE64. Aperintly it's not the case. If I can get some guidance on how to make it work with PINE64, that would be awesome.
