[SOLVED] !!!!!!
Sorry I found the issue! NO comment !!!
I had a doubt, since the connections are all correct and then I tried to adjust the contrast with the potentiometer on the back of the display...
and the writing appeared! incredible that by default the setting was wrong!!
Thank you all so ...

Re: How to use LCD 16x2 ?!?!
Hello guys, I tried with 4.7Khom pullup resistors and 3.3V (or +5V) but nothing...
it does not work ... let's say: backlight/nobacklight commands work fine but no cursor and no text.

Can anyone help me please?
thanks and regards
