#113710 - check the connection diagram
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Hi,
Thanks for the solutions which you've given.Here,i've connected BJT driver for the LCD backlight pins as follows:
VL (Pin 3 of LCD)-variable end of trimpot
Anode(pin 15 0f LCD)- One end of trimpot
Transistor collector-other end of trimpot
Transistor emitter-+5V
Transistor base - 1K resistor (other end of 1K resistor to Port pin)
10K resistor between emitter and base.
What happened is the backlight of the LCD is turned ON,but the characters are not getting displayed when the port is HIGH.Is there any paricular position in the code,where the port pin should be turned HIGH?

Suggest the changes that are to be done in the program.

Waiting for the reply,
Thank you.
