  12// @file LiquidCrystal_SR.h
  13//  Connects an LCD using 2 or 3 pins from the Arduino, via an 8-bit 
  14// ShiftRegister (SR from now on).
  15// 
  16// @brief 
  17// This is a port of the ShiftRegLCD library from raron and ported to the
  18// LCD library.
  19//
  20// The functionality provided by this class and its base class is identical
  21// to the original functionality of the Arduino LiquidCrystal library and can
  22// be used as such.
  23//
  24// Modified to work serially with the shiftOut() function, an 8-bit
  25// unlatched, no-tristate, unidirectional SIPO (Serial-In-Parallel-Out)
  26// shift register (IE a very simple SR), and an LCD in 4-bit mode.
  27// Any such shift register should do (pref. 74LS family IC's for 2-wire).
  28// I used 74LS164, for the reason that's what I had at hand.
  29//
  30// Connection description:
  31//
  32// SR output:
  33// Bit  #0   - N/C - not connected, used to hold a zero
  34// Bit  #1   - N/C
  35// Bit  #2   - connects to RS (Register Select) on the LCD
  36// Bits #3-6 - connects to LCD data inputs D4 - D7.
  37// Bit  #7   - enables the LCD enable-puls (via the diode-resistor AND "gate")
  38//
  39// 2 or 3 Pins required from the Arduino for Data, Clock and (optional) Enable
  40// If not using Enable, the Data pin is used for the enable signal by defining
  41// the same pin for Enable as for Data. Data and Clock outputs/pins goes to
  42// the shiftregister.
  43// LCD RW-pin hardwired to LOW (only writing to LCD).
  44// Busy Flag (BF, data bit D7) is not read.

  49// History
  50// 2012.03.29  bperrybap - Added delays for faster fio shiftout (it got too fast)
  51//             AVR needed delay. cmd/write delays are based on CPU speed so it works on pic32.
  52//             Added code to support indicating two wire mode by using enable=data pin
  53//             (documentation indicated this as working)
  54//             Fixed incorrect use of 5x10 for default font - now matches original LQ library.
  55//             can now eliminate enable pin in constructor for two wire mode.
  56// 2012.01.16  Florian Fida - faster digitalWrite/shiftOut
  57// 2011.10.29  fmalpartida - adaption of the library to the LCD class hierarchy.
  58// 2011.07.02  Fixed a minor flaw in setCursor function. No functional change, 
  59//             just a bit more memory efficient.
  60//             Thanks to CapnBry (from google code and github) who noticed it.
  61//             URL to his version of shiftregLCD:

  63// 2009.07.30  raron - minor corrections to the comments.
  64//             Fixed timing to datasheet safe. Fixed keyword highlights.
  65// 2009.07.28  Mircho / raron - a new modification to the schematics, and a
  66//             more streamlined interface
  67// 2009.07.27  Thanks to an excellent suggestion from mircho at the Arduino
  68//             playgrond forum, the number of wires now required is only two!
  69// 2009.07.25  raron - Fixed comments. I really messed up the comments before 
  70//             posting this, so I had to fix it.
  71//             Renamed a function, but no improvements or functional changes.
  72// 2009.07.23  Incorporated some proper initialization routines
  73//             inspired (lets say copy-paste-tweaked) from LiquidCrystal
  74//             library improvements from LadyAda.
  75// 2009.05.23  raron - first version, but based mostly (as in almost verbatim)
  76//             on the "official" LiquidCrystal library.
