## LiquidCrystal Library

This library allows an Arduino board to control LiquidCrystal displays (LCDs) based on the Hitachi HD44780 (or a compatible) chipset, which is found on most text-based LCDs. The library works with in either 4- or 8-bit mode (i.e. using 4 or 8 data lines in addition to the rs, enable, and, optionally, the rw control lines). ### Examples Autoscroll: Shift text right and left. Blink: Control of the block-style cursor. Cursor: Control of the underscore-style cursor. Display: Quickly blank the display without losing what's on it. Hello World: Displays "hello world!" and the seconds since reset. Scroll: Scroll text left and right. Serial Display: Accepts serial input, displays it. Set Cursor: Set the cursor position. Text Direction: Control which way text flows from the cursor. | #### Function LiquidCrystal() begin() clear() home() setCursor() write() print() cursor() noCursor() blink() noBlink() display() noDisplay() scrollDisplayLeft() scrollDisplayRight() autoscroll() noAutoscroll() leftToRight() rightToLeft() createChar()
