Data and Clock outputs/pins goes to // the shiftregister. // LCD RW-pin hardwired to LOW (only writing to LCD). // Busy Flag (BF, data bit D7) is not read. // // Original project homepage: http://code.google.com/p/arduinoshiftreglcd/ // // // History // 2012.03.29 bperrybap - Added delays for faster fio shiftout (it got too fast) // AVR needed delay. cmd/write delays are based on CPU speed so it works on pic32. // Added code to support indicating two wire mode by using enable=data pin // (documentation indicated this as working) // Fixed incorrect use of 5x10 for default font - now matches original LQ library. // can now eliminate enable pin in constructor for two wire mode. // 2012.01.16 Florian Fida - faster digitalWrite/shiftOut // 2011.10.29 fmalpartida - adaption of the library to the LCD class hierarchy. // 2011.07.02 Fixed a minor flaw in setCursor function. No functional change, // just a bit more memory efficient. // Thanks to CapnBry (from google code and github) who noticed it. // URL to his version of shiftregLCD: // https://github.com/CapnBry/HeaterMeter/commit/c6beba1b46b092ab0b33bcbd0a30a201fd1f28c1 // 2009.07.30 raron - minor corrections to the comments. // Fixed timing to datasheet safe. Fixed keyword highlights. // 2009.07.28 Mircho / raron - a new modification to the schematics, and a // more streamlined interface // 2009.07.27 Thanks to an excellent suggestion from mircho at the Arduino // playgrond forum, the number of wires now required is only two! // 2009.07.25 raron - Fixed comments. I really messed up the comments before // posting this, so I had to fix it. // Renamed a function, but no improvements or functional changes. // 2009.07.23 Incorporated some proper initialization routines // inspired (lets say copy-paste-tweaked) from LiquidCrystal // library improvements from LadyAda. // 2009.05.23 raron - first version, but based mostly (as in almost verbatim) // on the "official" LiquidCrystal library. // // // @author F.
