Well I am trying as hard as I can on my end. :-(
I loaded a brand new card with the newest version of Raspbian. I then did nothing else other than load SIP. Still no LCD action. I then tried a suggestion Dan had and powered the LCD from a separate 5v source (he mentioned maybe the Raspberry Pi Zero wasn't truly supplying 5V to the LCD. Well, the LCD lights up, just no text, same as always.) I'm pretty new to coding, so I believe the follow thought is above my pay grade: Is it possible to substitute a way stripped down version of lcd_adj.py, just to test the LCD and SIP? I know my I2C LCD is 0x27, so we don't need any of the code to figure it out. Is someone maybe willing to do the rest of the coding so I can test this?
Since I started with a brand new Micro SD card with a brand new version of Raspbian, I'm just not sure what else to do. Have you tested SIP with the newest version of Raspbian (11-29-17)?
Thanks for sticking with me!
