// include the library code: #include <LiquidCrystal.h> // initialize the library by associating any needed LCD interface pin // with the arduino pin number it is connected to const int rs = 12, en = 11, d4 = 5, d5 = 4, d6 = 3, d7 = 2; LiquidCrystal lcd(rs, en, d4, d5, d6, d7); void setup() { // set up the LCD's number of columns and rows: lcd.begin(16, 2); // Print a message to the LCD. lcd.print("hello, world!"); } void loop() { // set the cursor to column 0, line 1 // (note: line 1 is the second row, since counting begins with 0): lcd.setCursor(0, 1); // print the number of seconds since reset: lcd.print(millis() / 1000); } 

this is the result (the screen is lit up, but there is no text even when turning the potentiometer)

So I am following this tutorial to make my arduino display hello world and millis(), I got it to work for a minute, but then it stopped updating the milliseconds, and when I pushed the reset button it went blank. since then, It has been blank but I have double, triple, and qaudruple checked checked my wiring, and it is flawless. I tried it with both of my 16 segment displays, but to no avail. I have redone the wiring, but it is still blank. Does anybody know what I could be doing wrong?

I followed this diagram this is my code:
