Yes the 8 bit arch is a little bit old but it still takes care of what most people want unless you're planning to do any real-time video processing etc

What LCD screen are you using? the JHD12864E types have a different pinout to work with the m2560 based tx

Yes sir you were first in the forum to try mega2560 .I have seen your video using a liner pot( not rotary ones)and another joystick. It came up when I was searching opentx mega in YouTube.

Welcome to rci!

I'd troubleshoot in this order..

1) contrast adjustment
2) pinout mapping from 2560 to LCD. the st7920 does not need a CS2 pin connection, it needs not be connected.
3) the required pinout is specified in the MEGA2560_sch.pdf

I have created header boards (shields) that take the 2560 on one side and the ST7920 + the pots and switches on the other side. You can study these for the connections or download the plans and build one for yourself from the link below. If you do not want to build, i have some already fabricated available with me.

https://github.com/gtgs/gt-jtx/tree/master/gt-jtx-2560/hardware

All the best!

1. Use a potentiometer for the contrast adjustment pin.
pin1 - +5v
pin2 - VADJ pin of LCD - see below
pin3 - GND


2. try the pinout below for the ST7920

 LCD 12864B V 2.0 PIN            ARDUINO MEGA 2560 PIN      
                              GND                                               GND
                              VCC                                                 +5V
                              VADJ                                                 center pin of potentiometer
                              RS                                                     32
                              R/W                                                   31
                              E                                                       30
                              DB0                                                   22
                              DB1                                                   23
                              DB2                                                   24
                              DB3                                                   25
                              DB4                                                   26
                              DB5                                                   27
                              DB6                                                   28
                              DB7                                                   29
                              PSB                                                   34
                              NC                                                      NC
                              RST                                                    33
                              VOUT                                                  NC
                              BLA                                                     35
                              BLK                                                     GND  

3. After powering up, see if the LCD lights up (Backlit LED). If open tx is working, the backlight should turn off after a while. if it doesnt turn off, check your program code and if it is flashed correctly. if the backlit LED turns off, check the LCD contrast.

4. Use a multimeter (continuity tester mode) to see the connections and wires are correct.

5. Wire up the other components also, the pot/sticks/switches etc... would recommend not to leave any pins floating before powering up

You will need to be very patient with the setup. it can take a lot of time for debugging so dont give up Cheesy
