// LineWrap - simple demonstration of automatic linewrap functionality

//
// This sketch is for Noritake CU-U series displays like the
// Noritake CU20025ECPB-U1J or CU20025ECPB-W1J
// The Noritake CU20025ECPB display is a 20x2 line VFD display.
// It is not a hd44780 display but is nearly fully compatible with a hd44780
// display. The only real difference is the backlight control.
// So while this device is supported by the hd44780 library,
// the subclass will do its best to emulatate hd44780 functions and map
// them to equivalent functionality when possible.
//
// Sketch demonstrates hd44780 library automatic line wrapping functionality.
//
// Background:
// hd44780 LCDs do not use linear continuous memory for the characters
// on the lines on the display.
// This means that simply sending continuous characters to the
// display will not fill lines and wrap appropriately as might be expected.
// The hd44780 library solves this issue by adding a line wrapping capability
// in s/w that can be enabled & disabled.
// This allows the host to send characters to the display continuously and they
// will wrap to the next lower line when the end of the visible line has been
// reached. When on the bottom line it will wrap back to the top line.
// 
// (Configure LCD_COLS & LCD_ROWS if desired/needed)
// Expected behavior of the sketch:
// - display a banner announcing the test.
// - print the configured LCD geometry 
// - print a long text string to demostrate automatic line wrapping 
// - print lots of characters (slowly) to show how the full wrapping works.
// (loop)
//
// See below for configuring the Arduino pins used.
//
// Noritake CU-U series LCD module pins
//  1 - LCD gnd
//  2 - VCC (5v)
//  3 - not connected
//  4 - RS Register Select (rs) --- connect to Arduino pin
//  5 - Read/Write ------ connect to gnd
//  6 - Enable (en) ----- connect to Arduino pin
//  7 - Data 0 (db0) ----
//  8 - Data 1 (db1)     |-------- Not used in 4 bit mode
//  9 - Data 2 (db2)     |
// 10 - Data 3 (db3) ----
// 11 - Data 4 (db4) ---- connect to Arduino pin
// 12 - Data 5 (db5) ---- connect to Arduino pin
// 13 - Data 6 (db6) ---- connect to Arduino pin
// 14 - Data 7 (db7) ---- connect to Arduino pin
//
// If initialization of the LCD fails and the arduino supports a built in LED,
// the sketch will simply blink the built in LED with the initalization error
// code.
