I have just upgrade to the new Ubuntu 2 RC2, everything is great, booting faster, the desktop responses faster when using VNC. The only problem is when I use Arduino (come with the new release Ubuntu) libraries. Although IDE load code more stable now, the Neo character LCD library still don't work. Actually with the original LCD library, the program always stop at the beginning of the code, but this time, the code go through, I can printout something from serial, but my LCD still did not start up and show anything. I have test this LCD with other 3.3V microcontroller (Teensy) and the new Arduino 101, and it works well, so I think it's not about the LCD. I make this post to ask Udoo team or anyone test this LCD library work can show me the picture or video, so that I can debug my problem. I will try with the I2C control LCD and update later. Thanks.
Hi there, I tried the "HelloWorld" sketch with a FECC1602G, and it doesn't work either. Same thing, it works well with UDOO Quad (3.3V) and Arduino Duemilanove (5V), but not with UDOO Neo. We have to investigate further. Thanks, ek5 P.S.: can you please share the model of your LCD module? Thanks again
@ektor5 , I tried the SainSmart LCD Keypad Shield, I used this for other 3.3V board like Teensy, Freescale mbed, they all worked ok. Therefore I wonder is there anyone test the library before publication. PS: I mainly use NEO for Python, Processing & Arduino, just for my hobby. Thanks Udoo team. And I consider back for new Udoo Kickstarter
Ok, there were a problem in the init() function: MQX forbids hardware setup OUTSIDE the setup() function. So I had to move them inside begin(). Check out commit https://github.com/UDOOboard/LiquidCrystal/commit/15e15aca3db47129e1d6cd605d12402d133482ec I’m updating the library and the UDOObuntu library package, so soon you’ll be able to upgrade with an Code: # apt-get update && apt-get upgrade BTW we do testing before releasing, but not every donut comes out with the hole ek5
Thanks @ektor5 , I've just checked the new code, I worked smoothly, both on NEO and on external IDE. Don't mind my writing, for coding, bugs sometimes happen
Hi there Bairon, LiquidCrystal support Hitachi-like display only, that isn't I2C compliant. If you have a I2C display, you need a different library.
