Problems with ADM1602K SparkFun LCD 16x2

Hello all

I’m relatively new to all the Arduino programming, but managed to get pretty much everything I needed to do, done. However, this LCD thing is doing my head in.

I’ve connected an LCD (SparkFun ADM1602K, 16x2) and it works fine, backlight, contrast etc. However, when I send some .print() to it, it fails and gives me incomprehensible garbage. I’m told my sketch is skewed by a nibble… The LCD is recognising my .print() and the scrambles are not random.

Any help or advice from you experts is welcomed - I’m a total noob! Wired up as per the Arduino guide on their website. Code below (please note I was using LiquidCrystal.h, was told to switch to LiquidCrystal440.h and still with new library no luck).

All the very best.

Show us how it is actually wired up, and post your program; that will give us a bit more to work with.
