  LiquidCrystal Library - scrollDisplayLeft() and scrollDisplayRight()
 
 Demonstrates the use a 16x2 LCD display.  The LiquidCrystal
 library works with all LCD displays that are compatible with the 
 Hitachi HD44780 driver. There are many of them out there, and you
 can usually tell them by the 16-pin interface.
 
 This sketch prints "Hello World!" to the LCD and uses the
 scrollDisplayLeft() and scrollDisplayRight() methods to scroll
 the text.

 The circuit:
 =================================

 02 - VCC             +5V, pot
 03 - Contrast        Pot wiper
 04 - RS              Pin8 (P2.0)
 05 - R/W             GND
 06 - EN              Pin9 (P2.1)
 07 - DB0             GND
 08 - DB1             GND
