  Hotboards_Spilcd Library - Cursor

 Demonstrates the use a 16x2 LCD display.  The Hotboards_SpiLcd
 library works with all LCD displays that are compatible with the
 ST7032 driver presented on Spi Lcd board (http://www.hotboards.org).
 This sketch prints "Hello World!" to the LCD and
 uses the cursor()  and noCursor() methods to turn
 on and off the cursor.
 The circuit:
  *  BKL   -->  GND
  *  VDD   -->  3.3v
  *  GND   -->  GND
  *  SCK   -->  PA_5
  *  SI    -->  PA_6
  *  CS    -->  PB_15
  *  RS    -->  PB_14
  *  RST   -->  PB_13
