Using a 4 pin serial LCD with a 3 pin connector?
hello,
i have seeduino serial lcd http://www.seeedstudio.com/wiki/grove_-_serial_lcd_v1.0
this lcd has 4 wires connected it: vcc, gnd, rx, tx
i have arduino shield (can bus shield) has lcd connection on it, connect lcd. problem shield has 3 connections lcd. followed traces , vcc, gnd , digital 6.
from understanding should able connect vcc, gnd , digital 6 on shield rx of lcd , should work. not work.
i tried connecting lcd straight arduino using vcc, gnd , connecting rx of lcd digital pin, not work. if connect tx of lcd digital pin, works.
it makes sense because in code using softwareserial need specify both rx , tx pins in code...
how go using 3 wires on lcd? set rx pin in code (tx of lcd) if not connected?
thanks
