Hi
I am trying to test my 16x2 LCD display before i start connecting it to my MCUtoolstick. The LCD I have is FDCC1602B.
http://www.datasheetcatalog.com/datasheets_pdf/F/D/C/C/FDCC1602B.shtml
Its the 3.3v version. All i have connected is Pin 1(Vss)-Gnd, Pin 2(Vdd)-3.2V and I have pin 3(Vo)- Gnd. When i turn on the power it doesnt turn on, there is voltage at the terminals. But its gets warm and thats normally never a good sign.
I was expecting to get square blocks on the screen at full contrast. but nothing is happening. Is the LCD faulty (eventhough its brand new).
Forgive me if this is a very basic question, but I am new to this stuff.
Kind Regards.
