problem with lcd and encoder

[tizfra]

Hi everyone,
i have connected all in the right way, but lcd starts write character after one column, so i can read
▯▯▯▯▯▯▯▯Minidexe
▯<TG2▯▯▯▯▯▯▯▯▯▯▯

the encoder problem is that raspberry don't read push button well, it missed lot of push.
can anyone help me

Hello @tizfra. Maybe loose connections? Did you solder?

[tizfra]

Have you power LCD with 5v?
If possible, in the readme file, add electric scheme...

[probonopd]

Yes. We might still want to change the pinout, hence it is not documented in detail yet.

I have some doubts about connecting the LCD. If the LCD is powered by 5v line it is supposed that never works as Read mode to avoid 5v over 3,3v GPIO lines, however I see on schematics that RW is connected to GPIO16 and not to GND. Is the software reads the LCD? or GPIO16 is always set on "0"? or LCD has to be powered by 3.3 line?

Please have a look at this diagram. Note that we might still change the default pinout.

Ok, Thanks. I've got the answers on that comments issue comment.
Maybe it's better to connect LCD RW pin to GND, because, as it's said "The Circle LCD driver is not reading from the display"

Please have a look at this diagram. Note that we might still change the default pinout.

to work properly, the encoder needs resistors and capacitors, like norns sheild had
(I could work on that, tomorrow)

[probonopd]

My encoder module PCB has some resistors onboard. Which capacitor is needed?

[tizfra]

I've resolved my problems with encoder and LCD, i don't connected well and on breadboard and I remove also level converter.
Now it works like a charm.

Can I add more voice in micro SD?
Thanks to everyone for the help

Sure you can! Just name them like the examples in https://github.com/probonopd/MiniDexed/blob/main/getsysex.sh:
