White LCD screen

Post by bou »

I have two reef angel plus that I've been using as development platform, since I didn't have any reef thank at that moment.
I've been using them mostly for the I2C bus and the eeprom.

I'm just starting a new thank (Youpi!!) but I have a problem. Both controllers programs fine, but both screens remain white. Is the something special to be done to reinitialize the boards?
I did run the InitialInternalMemory sketch to reinitialize everything.

By the way, both are GEN1 screen. (with the black connector)

Thank you!

Add this right above ReefAngel.Init() for gen1 screens.

Code: Select all

  InternalMemory.LCDID_write(255);

I tried it and it still doesn't work, the screen stay white.
Could it be something else I need to initialize in memory?

Thank you

That's the only one that would affect the screen. 255 is for gen1/gen2 and 0 is for gen 3.
Were they working when you purchased?

Yes, they were working.
I guess I will order a new display then.

Thank you again!
