Quick and versatile LCD screen control. Works as a great alternative to serial consoles!

Inverted-color text function makes easy menus and borders
Uses a simple SetXY(char, char) function to draw data-plots or patterns

LCD's connections from left to right:
1) +3.3v (V_lcd) - mbed's VOUT
2) GND - mbed's GND
3) SCE (chip select) - mbed's p8
4) RST (reset) - mbed's p9
5) DC (data/command) - mbed's p10
6) MOSI - mbed's p11
7) SCLK (serial clock) - mbed's p13
8) +3.3v (V_backlight) - mbed's VOUT
The code for this setup would be...
LcdPins myPins;
myPins.sce = p8;
myPins.rst = p9;
myPins.dc = p10;
myPins.mosi = p11;
myPins.miso = NC;
myPins.sclk = p13;
or more easily...
LcdPins myLcdPins = { p11, NC, p13, p10, p8, p9 };
Init the NokiaLcd class using the above struct...
NokiaLcd myLcd( myLcdPins );
then start the LCD using...
myLcd.InitLcd();
Simple text output is achieved with either of these functions:
void DrawString(char* str);
void DrawChar(char character);

Better documentation, pre/post conditions, and extended draw functions are coming soon :)
