However, the LCD 16x2 character operations involved overwrite the bottom line, but do not erase themselves afterwards, instead relying on the next information update to fully rewrite the line. This is not working. The side effect can be to leave a trailing 0 to the right of the latest reading, thus erroneously appearing that a spike of an order of magnitude has been seen,
