  • Hi guys,
    I've got a HD44780 LCD character Display Module and I'm trying to get it working with Espruino. I've followed the guide here http://www.espruino.com/HD44780 and installed the HD33780 module, but whenever I run the code I get the following error:

    // My code
    var lcd = require("HD44780").connect(A4,A5,A0,A7,A­2,A3);
    lcd.print("Hello World!");
    
    // Error returned
    >echo(0);

                                                                                                  ^

    Do you have any idea what's going wrong here? I've tried writing the module code directly but I get much the same results. What should I try next to fix this?
    Thanks
