Okay thanks for the advice, I'll try to change my earlier post.

Yes sorry I haven't found a solution. My loop code is a while loop after "while True:" with two while loops to work the distance sensor. The lcd.message was tabbed like this: def message(self, text): """ Send string to LCD. Newline wraps to second line""" for char in text: if char == '\n': self.writ...

Using a distance sensor and 16 x 2 LCD screen, I'm trying to have the distance sensor get a distance and display it on the screen every second or so. It outputs twice and then gives me an error having to do with the lcd.message function of my LCD screen. Any thoughts on how to fix? Error: Traceback ...

So I put GPIO.cleanup() at the end and it still came up with the above error. Any suggestions?

Hi all, I've been dabbling around with a distance sensor and getting it to display on a 16x2 LCD display. I have it working twice but it breaks out with an error message having to do with my lcd.message command. I'm rather new to Python so if someone can spot the error that would be great. Here's th...

I embedded the code below.

Cool! It works about twice and displays, but I can't get it to loop. It seemed to have a problem clearing so I just took out the lcd.clear() from my script. But then it comes back with this. I'll post the Adafruit_CharLCD.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "displaydistance2.py", line 37, in ...

I've been using an HC-SR04 distance sensor and have been able to output the distance value to the Raspberry Pi's serial monitor. I've also been using a 16 x 2 LCD screen, and have been able to write text using the Adafruit library. However, as I'm new to the Python language, I have been having troub...

P_Monty: You are correct! I can't believe I could have overlooked that, I've been using breadboards for about a month now. I feel silly.
Thank you so much!

IMG_0958-2.JPG I have the LED the right way and I believe the ribbon cable is the right way as well. The gray cable is towards the SD and it only goes in one way in the cobbler. I also tried the 3.3V and nothing happened. I've attached a couple pictures. Note: Before finding the right configuration...

Hi everybody, I'm rather new to my Raspberry Pi and I've been trying to set up the GPIO pins to light up a simple LED. Using a Pi Cobbler Breakout Kit, I've attached it to a breadboard and wired up one LED with a 220 ohm resistor. However, every attempt to light the LED has been a failure. For some ...
