In this example we are going to connect to HD44780 based LCD display.<\/h2>\n

The display I am using \u00a0has 2 lines with 16 letters each. Same example will also work for HD44780 based displays that have 4 lines with 20 letters per line.<\/p>\n

Now before going\u00a0further then I want it to be known that this guide is much based on the Guide from Xojo Inc on HD44780 displays<\/a>. I had been struggling a bit with my self if this guide should be made given that Xojo already had one but then I opted to do it for completeness and as base for other displays that we will be doing. As I went on though then I did some substantial improvements to the Xojo guide which should make this guide worth having. Those include custom glyphs, better detail \u00a0on connecting and how to not damage your display if your display is not one that protects it self as the ones from\u00a0Adafruit and other minor things.<\/p>\n
