Balboa with 16x2 LCD

Robotics and electronics discussion Electronics

I could not get the Balboa to work with a 16x2 LCD. (only strange characters)
The same 16x2 LCD however works perfect with other Arduino software.
I know that Balboa is designed for a 8x2 LCD, what do I have to change to get it to work
with 16x2 as well?
Any help appreciated, thanks

Hello.

Can you post more information about your 16x2LCD (like a datasheet for it or a link to where you got it) and how you are trying to use it with your Balboa 32U4? Can you post some pictures of your setup and your code?

Hi Patrick,
it’s working now perfectly.
It turned out, that - by integrating the Demo.cpp in my platformio environment - I had added
an #include <Arduino.h> at the top which seems to be the culprit.
Removing that include (which means leaving Demo.cpp as it was) made things work.
b.t.w. it’s a Truly MCC162C4-1 type of lcd.

thanks for your quick reply,
regards,
