  LiquidCrystal Library - Serial Input
 
 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 displays text sent over the serial port 
 (e.g. from the Serial Monitor) on an attached LCD.
 
 The circuit:
 =================================
 LCD pin              Connect to
 ---------------------------------
 01 - GND             GND, pot
 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
 09 - DB2             GND
 10 - DB3             GND
 11 - DB4             Pin10 (P2.2)
 12 - DB5             Pin11 (P2.3)
 13 - DB6             Pin12 (P2.4)
 14 - DB7             Pin13 (P2.5)
 15 - BL+             +5V
 16 - BL-             GND
 =================================

 The circuit:
 * LCD RS pin to digital pin 12
 * LCD Enable pin to digital pin 11
 * LCD D4 pin to digital pin 5
 * LCD D5 pin to digital pin 4
 * LCD D6 pin to digital pin 3
 * LCD D7 pin to digital pin 2
 * LCD R/W pin to ground
 * 10K resistor:
 * ends to +5V and ground
 * wiper to LCD VO pin (pin 3)
