Hi,

this indicated the wiring is correct and the code works.

If you do not see anything on your second LCD when using 'vspan=4,4' it
could simply mean that the screens of the client you use do not make use
of the additional space.

E.g. some of the 'lcdproc' client screens are designed for 2 or 4 line
displays and do not make use of additional lines (C (CPU), M (memory), T
(clock) screens).

Some of 'lcdproc' screen do use additional lines, like the A (about), D
(disks), S (top size) screens. Try one of those!

Regards,
Markus
