Nothing showing on screen

hi,

i trying use following code, text "the tank off " , " tank on " not showing on screen desired. serial.print instructions showing correctly in serial monitor however. able assist?

code: [select]

#include <spi.h>
#include <ethernet.h>      // enable if using ethernetshield

//#include <uipethernet.h>     // enable if using enc28j60
#include <liquidcrystal.h>

boolean reading = false;

liquidcrystal lcd(7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12);

// assign mac address ethernet controller.
// fill in address here:
byte mac[] = {
  0xde, 0xad, 0xbe, 0xef, 0xfe, 0xed};
// fill in available ip address on network here,
// manual configuration:
ipaddress ip(192,168,0,178);

// fill in domain name server address here:
//ipaddress mydns(1,1,1,1);

// initialize library instance:
ethernetclient client;

char server[] = "aveshop.co.uk";

unsigned long lastconnectiontime = 0;          // last time connected server, in milliseconds
boolean lastconnected = false;                 // state of connection last time through main loop
const unsigned long postinginterval = 5000;  // delay between updates, in milliseconds

void setup() {
  // start serial port:
  serial.begin(9600);
  lcd.begin(16, 2);
  //lcd.print("initialising....");
  // give ethernet module time boot up:
  delay(1000);
  //lcd.setcursor(0, 0);
  //lcd.print("                ");
  // start ethernet connection using fixed ip address , dns server:
  ethernet.begin(mac, ip);
  // print ethernet board/shield's ip address:
  serial.print("my ip address:  ");
  serial.println(ethernet.localip());
}

void loop() {
 // if there incoming bytes available
 // server, read them , print them:
 if (client.available()) {
   char c = client.read();
   
        if(reading && c == ' ') reading = false;
        if(c == '*') reading = true; //found *, begin reading info

        if(reading){
   
   
   serial.println(c);

switch (c) {
            case '0':
              //add code here lcd display when tank off
                //lcd.setcursor(0, 0);
              //lcd.print("                ");
                               
                lcd.setcursor(0, 0);
  lcd.print("the tank off ");
                serial.println("the screen show off");
              break;

            case '1':
            //add code here lcd display when tank on
                //lcd.setcursor(0, 0);
                //lcd.print("                ");
                               
                lcd.setcursor(0, 0);
          lcd.print(" tank on ");
                serial.println("the screen show on");
              break;


}
 }
 }

  // if there's no net connection, there 1 last time
  // through loop, stop client:
  if (!client.connected() && lastconnected) {
    serial.println();
    serial.println("disconnecting.");
    serial.println("-------------------------------------------------------------------");
    client.stop();
  }

  // if you're not connected, , ten seconds have passed since
  // last connection, connect again , send data:
  if(!client.connected() && (millis() - lastconnectiontime > postinginterval)) {
    httprequest();
  }
  // store state of connection next time through
  // loop:
  lastconnected = client.connected();
}

// method makes http connection server:
void httprequest() {
  // if there's successful connection:
  if (client.connect(server, 80)) {
    serial.println("connecting...");
    // send http put request:
    client.println("get http://aveshop.co.uk/mysql-scripts/report_tankstate.php http/1.0");
    client.println();

    // note time connection made:
    lastconnectiontime = millis();
  }
  else {
    // if couldn't make connection:
    serial.println("connection failed");
    serial.println("disconnecting.");
    //enc28j60.init(mac);
    client.stop();
  }
}


thanks.

no.







you need provide more details.
first is: how display connected, , clear photo of should help.
did ever use screen before,and in same setup ?
is there visible on screen ?
load sketch nothing else put stuff on display in current hardware setup.
get screen work way first can find you're doing wrong @ moment.
