Hello  Hans and the community!

I have run into a problem with Joi-IT 16x2 display.
I connected and I think I configured everything right, checked several times.
USE_I2C_LCD  is set to true and I2C_LCD_ADDR is 0x27 (checked it with i2c tools)
The buttons seem to work but the display doesn't give a sign of life besides the glowing backlight. I tried the demo file from the manufacturer to check if the screen is working in general, and it is. Shows the right bitton clicked. So i assume that the problem is with the display wiring.
Can't really find a place in samplebox to change the wiring info to check that option out.

also when I start samplebox from the console I get

Code:
Starting I2C LCD..
Available audio devices:
  0 bcm2835 Headphones: - (hw:0,0), ALSA (0 in, 8 out)
  1 sysdefault, ALSA (0 in, 128 out)
< 2 default, ALSA (0 in, 128 out)
  3 dmix, ALSA (0 in, 2 out)
Opened audio device #0 bcm2835 Headphones: - (hw:0,0)
  samplerate 44100Hz, blocksize=384, LFOcycle=1
  valid blocksizes: [32, 64, 96, 128, 160, 192, 224, 256, 288, 320, 352, 384]
Opened Alsamixer: card (hw:0,x), control Headphone
We have None, we want 0 Demo
./modules/buttons.py:36: RuntimeWarning: This channel is already in use, continuing anyway.  Use GPIO.setwarnings(False) to disable warnings.
  GPIO.setup(m[2], GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP)
Started 4 GPIO-buttons: BUT_incr=4, BUT_decr=16, BUT_sel=10, BUT_ret=9
Opened input "Midi Through:Midi Through Port-0 14:0" as SMFplayer
Starting httpd on port 80
Loaded '0 Demo', 86% free memory left
(atm I disconnected the sound card and midi keyboard, they work great. Everything besides the screen works great)

is it okay that I get this?
Code:
./modules/buttons.py:36: RuntimeWarning: This channel is already in use, continuing anyway.  Use GPIO.setwarnings(False) to disable warnings.


At the moment I don't know what to do or where to find the solution.
I wrote the manufacturer to get the screen pinout but no answer at the moment, maybe you can help in any way?


Thank you in advance
