// Serial2LCD - simple demonstration printing characters from serial port
// Created by Bill Perry 2020-06-28
// bperrybap@opensource.billsworld.billandterrie.com
//
// This example code is unlicensed and is released into the public domain
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// This sketch is for LCD devices like the Tsingtek Display HC1627 modules
// in i2c mode. Devices such as HC1627-B-LWH-I2C-30 or HC1627-SYH-I2C-30
// These devices have a native I2C interface rather than use a simple I2C
// i/o expander chip such as a PCF8574 or MCP23008.
//
// Sketch demonstrates hd44780 how to read a message of characters from 
// serial port and display it on the LCD.
// It takes advantage of the hd44780 library automatic line
// wrapping capability.
// See the LineWrap sketch for details about line wrapping.
//
// NOTE:
//	These devices usually need external pullups as they typically are not on
//	the module.
// WARNING:
//	Use caution when using 3v only processors like arm and ESP8266 processors
//	when interfacing with 5v modules as not doing proper level shifting or
//	incorrectly hooking things up can damage the processor.
// 
// Configure LCD_COLS, LCD_ROWS and BAUDRATE if desired/needed
// Expected behavior of the sketch:
// - characters received from serial port are displayed on LCD
// - CR and LF are ignored/dropped
//
// 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.
//
// Some 16x1 displays are actually a 8x2 display that have both lines on
// a single line on the display.
// If you have one of these displays, simply set the geometry to 8x2 instead
// of 16x1. 
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// While not all modules use the same pinout,
// Be VERY careful and check your datasheet.
//
// This pin table is for the Tsingtek Display HC1627-SYH-I2C-30 or
// HC1627-SYH-I2C-30 module when it is strapped for i2c mode operation
//
// pin 14 is the pin closest to the edge of the PCB
// 14 - connect to gnd
// 13 - connect to vcc
// 12 - ID0 --- controls bit 1 of 7 bit i2c address, strap accordingly
// 11 - ID1 --- controls bit 2 of 7 bit i2c address, strap accordingly
// 10 - not connected
//  9 - not connected
//  8 - SCL
//  7 - SDA
//  6 - connect to gnd
//  5 - connect to gnd
//  4 - connect to gnd
//  3 - Vo Contrast Voltage input
//  2 - VCC (5v)
//  1 - LCD gnd
