i just got my order from techsupplies today which included the budget lcd kit axe133.
i have the board all soldered up, paying extra care to all pins and solder and everything was perfect with no issues.
i have been playing around successfully with displaying text however then trying to turn on outputs c.0 to c.2 gives me nothing as far as the multimeter is concerned.
as mentioned before the solder job during assembly was done with absolutely no shorts ect and i dont know why they are not switching high and low.
i have another 18m2 in my parts boxes and so loaded the firmware on that chip and still no control of the outputs, no problem with sending and displaying data.
simple sending from 08m2
and lcd firmware for 18m2, lcd type uncommented and everything else left as is
im now left scratching the old noggin, am i missing something??
