Did I do something wrong? I uploaded the IDE and everything seemed fine. I put it in my car and drove, but nothing happened. It was as if the inputs weren't connected. Everything stayed at zero. Then, after having turned the car on and off a few times, the buttons wouldn't scroll the screens. I have it hooked to constant power. It has 12 volts regardless of whether the key is even in the ignition or not. Then the lcd wouldn't light up. I brought it back in and reloaded the IDE. Now everything seems to be fine again. If I just knew what half of the screens are for, I'd be doing alright. Time to go back out and hook it up again.
Any ideas what I may have done wrong?
