+ # PmodCLS driver for Arduino

3
+ This is a simple Arduino driver for the Digilent [ PmodCLS] ( http://store.digilentinc.com/pmodcls-character-lcd-with-serial-interface/ ) LCD module.
4
+ It is meant to be as much as a drop-in replacement for [ LiquidCrystal] ( https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/LiquidCrystal ) as possible.
5
+ However, the following incompatibilities currently exist:
6
+ - The autoscroll feature is not present on the PmodCLS.
7
+ This could be implemented in software but currently is not;
8
+ - The right-to-left feature is not present either.
9
+ This is probably impossible to emulate in software;
10
+ - Defining custom characters * is* supported by the hardware but not implemented yet;
11
+ - The constructors are completely different.
12
+
13
+ Since there are different ways to communicate with the PmdCLS (UART, SPI and I²C), this driver does not talk to the hardware directly.
14
+ Instead, it writes a command stream to a user-provided function which is responsible of communicating with the hardware.
15
+ See the [ HelloWorld] ( examples/HelloWorld/HelloWorld.ino ) example for a simple way to communicate over UART.
You can’t perform that action at this time.
