Did you try adjusting
contrast pot for LCD.? Also make sure the 5 Volts is at 5 V,
should be within +- about .05V.? If still a problem, take the
Raduino out and connect it to the USB on your computer and
check it.
Let us Know what
happens?? There are some voltages you can check on the LCD
connector.
The LCD pot usually
has to be adjusted when going from running on the PC, to being
in the Radio.

Hi everyone.? Just got my first uBitx, v5, and wired it up.? On
power up the display lights up but sits on the "black boxes" for
every character.? I can see the opening text (uBitx 7.150 etc)
when I look at the screen from an extreme side angle.? I think I
have something hooked up wrong with the display (?) but this
arduino, display, stuff is all new to me.? Is this some obvious
simple noob error with connecting the display and raduino??
I did try to search for a previously posted answer but if you can
point me to some better search tools I would appreciate that
also.?
Thank you
