maigre Posted January 17, 2016 Report Posted January 17, 2016 Hi ! I am almost done bulding the MB-6582 but i am stuck on LCD wiring and connection. I followed the LCD wiring guide from here: http://www.midibox.org/users/jim_henry/building_a_midibox_lcd_cable.pdf I had a first problem with my initial LCD: the Backlight wiring was not classic and i think i bricked the LCD. So i started with another one, i double-ckecked the pinouts but it still doesn't work: i have weird characters appearing on screen (see attached picture).. Any clue to help me troubleshoot this ? I am trying to resurect an old CORE8 Module to test the LCD, but without success (i posted another thread about this issue). So for now i don't have other to check if it is an LCD issue or MB-6582 issue... Thanks ! Best Regards, Thomas Quote
Hawkeye Posted January 17, 2016 Report Posted January 17, 2016 Hola! Which LCD model is it? Do you have a link to the datasheet? Imho, it might be an accidentally swapped data wire... you could try rebuilding a new cable, following these instructions: (they are not better than Jin Henrys, just a different approach, maybe it will work like this?) Many greets! Peter Quote
maigre Posted June 5, 2016 Author Report Posted June 5, 2016 Hi! I bought a new one (a cheap one from Aliexpress, waited loooong time to receive it but it was 2$ + free shipping...) And following your attached guide, i finally worked it thru ! I will replace with a better looking one later, but i am really thrilled it finally display something ! Last step now: link front and back boards.. never been so close ;) Thanks for pointing out the wiring guide ! Best, Thomas 1 Quote
