    00013 // This file implements a basic liquid crystal library that comes as standard
    00014 // in the Arduino SDK.
    00015 //
    00016 // @brief
    00017 // This is a basic implementation of the LiquidCrystal library of the
    00018 // Arduino SDK. This library is a refactored version of the one supplied
    00019 // in the Arduino SDK in such a way that it simplifies its extension
    00020 // to support other mechanism to communicate to LCDs such as I2C, Serial, SR,
    00021 // The original library has been reworked in such a way that this will be
    00022 // the base class implementing all generic methods to command an LCD based
    00023 // on the Hitachi HD44780 and compatible chipsets.
    00024 //
    00025 // This base class is a pure abstract class and needs to be extended. As reference,
    00026 // it has been extended to drive 4 and 8 bit mode control, LCDs and I2C extension
    00027 // backpacks such as the I2CLCDextraIO using the PCF8574* I2C IO Expander ASIC.
    00028 //
    00029 // The functionality provided by this class and its base class is identical
    00030 // to the original functionality of the Arduino LiquidCrystal library.
    00031 //
    00032 // @version API 1.1.0
