Not sure why when I add an LCD Display device (16x2, address 0x27) it will not upload the config? If I power off the board and try again it will show a very slow progress bar and then say 'upload finished with errors'.
I am using a Keystudio Mega 2560. I have also tried an Uno.... same problem.
My LCD screen is on with blue backlight and is connected to the mega using a I2C. But this shouldn't determine the Config upload though??

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Jack

Hi

There was some trouble in the past with LCD.... But i thought this is solved.

Provisional solution that time.... EEPROM Clear the Board.... Flash Firmware for new and then create devices (By use the old mfmc file if you like).

Mostly that solve this strange rare issue.

Good Luck !

I've tried resetting the board, updating the firmware. Didn't work.
However, tried it on a brand new Arduino Brand Mega R3 2560 and after tweaking the pot at the back of the I2C adapter it worked. It did though still upload the config with error.

I wonder if you could point me in the correct direction in order to show the FLT ALT and LAND ALT on the LCD using Zibo B738 on X-Plane.

Thanks very much.
