| Dec 16, 2018 at 18:52 | comment | added | Andrew Morton | To trim excess wire, you want cutters that look like this pair. | |
| Dec 16, 2018 at 16:05 | comment | added | JRE | Also, you should get and use a potentiometer for the contrast. The Arduino doesn't output a simple analog signal. "Analogwrite" sends a pulse width modulated signal. It is a bunch of pulses with two states: on (+5V) and off (0V.) | |
| Dec 16, 2018 at 16:02 | comment | added | JRE | Write a simple program that only initializes the LCD and writes a simple text to the display. That will help you figure out if you have a software problem or a hardware problem. | |
| Dec 16, 2018 at 15:59 | comment | added | JRE | Program code is always singular. "Codes" are what you use to open a keypad lock or to decode a secret message. | |
