Hi there! , Ive been tinkering with arduino from a while, and trying to make a wireless display using arduino, esp32, nrf24 radio modules and an 16x1(8x2) LCD display which i had laying around. everything worked out on the serial monitor and i had previously tested this lcd display and had no problems. but having some trouble with the code which i wrote.

transmitting string = "hello how are you" which is a 17 character string.

the first 8 characters of the display work fine, but right after changing the cursor position, the written code (which works right on the monitor) seems to be just ignored by the arduino.

 

You have a 16 x 1 not an 8 x 2
The LCD begin function need to change.
lcd.begin(8, 2); <---not the one you are using
lcd.begin(16, 1); <-- the one you have.
