Please provide the schematic showing connections between mbed and the display. What is powersupply voltage for display, what is LCD contrast voltage.
posted by Wim Huiskamp 01 Feb 2013pin 1 should be GND
pin 2 should be 5V
pin 3 should be Vee (wiper of potmeter, other ends GND and 5V)
pin 5 should be GND (R/W)
Rest of wiring seems OK

posted by karunakar praveen 02 Feb 2013Have you tried adjusting the potmeter. Vee should usually be close to 0V. The display should show the top row as black blocks. That row will show right after a reset even without running software. Try the display with only powersupply and vee connected. When you dont see this black row your wiring/voltages are wrong or the display is broken because you had powersupply connected in the wrong way at first.
