Howdy all,
I bought the Experiment Kit for Arduino UNO (ARD-SK2) kit which came with LCD keypad Shield (SHIELD-LCD).
I have started to play around with it and there is some chatter going on on the arduino forums (http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=96747.0) about some of the shields being faulty.
They have a script which detects if the LCD is faulty.
"So far, the "broken" designs connected D10 directly to the base of a NPN transistor, this will cause a short when D10 is set to HIGH"
I have downloaded this and run it which lights up the LCD with the message "BL Circuit BAD"
Image attached.
Is this correct or not something to worry about?
Cheers
