#44708 System.IO.Exception Occurs In MCP23008LcdTransferProvider Constructor

Thanks, good to know.




#44689 System.IO.Exception Occurs In MCP23008LcdTransferProvider Constructor

Posted by monsterhunter445 on 31 January 2013 - 10:23 PM in Netduino Plus 2 (and Netduino Plus 1)

Hello everyone, I am new to Netduino, I have already done a few things like the blinking LED and light sensor (using photoresistor). When I purchased my Netduino Plus 2, I purchased a SainSmart IIC/I2C/TWI Serial 2004 20x4 LCD Module Shield For Arduino UNO MEGA R3. I assume it is compatible with my Netduino Plus 2. Anyway a link to the LCD will be given below, along with the source code. When I try to print Hello World using the Micro Liquid Crystal library, I get nothing on the screen, And an exception occurs in the constructor of the LCD provider. I have no idea what to do and I do not think it is an address issue since I have tried 0x3F (0011 1111) and 0x27 (0010 0111)  but nothing changes. I know the LCD works because it is being powered up and I believe it requires 5V to power it up and not 3.3V. I will try to so my setup when I can.

 

How I set it up:

 

GND <-> GND

VCC <-> 5V

SDA <-> A4

SCL <-> A5

 

I also put a resistor on A4 and A5 but to no avail. I will be posting a picture soon. I ran this code:

 

// Micro Liquid Crystal Library// http://microliquidcrystal.codeplex.com// Appache License Version 2.0 using System.Threading;using MicroLiquidCrystal;using Microsoft.SPOT.Hardware;using SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.Netduino;using FusionWare.SPOT.Hardware;namespace HelloWorld{    public class Program    {        public static void Main()        {            // create the transfer provider, use direct GPIO provider            // Initialize the library with the numbers of the interface pins            // Use wiring shown here http://arduino.cc/en/uploads/Tutorial/lcd_schem.png            var bus = new I2CBus();                       var lcdProvider = new MCP23008LcdTransferProvider(bus, 0x27, MCP23008LcdTransferProvider.DefaultSetup);            // create the LCD interface            var lcd = new Lcd(lcdProvider);            // set up the LCD's number of columns and rows:             lcd.Begin(20, 2);            // print a message to the LCD.            lcd.Write("Hello world!");            while (true)            {                lcd.Backlight = true;                // set the cursor to the first column on the second line                lcd.SetCursorPosition(0, 1);                // print the number of milliseconds since reset:                lcd.Write((Utility.GetMachineTime().Ticks / 10000).ToString());                Thread.Sleep(100);                lcd.Backlight = false;                //}            }        }    }}

 


 

 

If anybody can help it me it would be appreciated because I am new to electronics but I am pretty good at programming. Thanks in advanced.
