+/*
+ * Initialisation
+ * ==============
+ *
+ * After attaching the supply voltage/after a reset, the display needs to be brought in to a defined state
+ *
+ * - wait approximately 15 ms so the display is ready to execute commands
+ * - Execute the command 0x30 ("Display Settings") three times (wait 1,64ms after each command, the busy flag cannot be queried now). 
+ * - The display is in 8 bit mode, so if you have only connected 4 data pins you should only transmit the higher nibble of each command.
+ * - If you want to use the 4 bit mode, now you can execute the command to switch over to this mode now.
+ * - Execute the "clear display" command
+ *
+ * Timing
+ * ======
+ *
+ * Nearly all commands transmitted to the display need 40us for execution. 
+ * Exceptions are the commands "Clear Display and Reset" and "Set Cursor to Start Position" 
+ * These commands need 1.64ms for execution. These timings are valid for all displays working with an 
+ * internal clock of 250kHz. But I do not know any displays that use other frequencies. Any time you 
+ * can use the busy flag to test if the display is ready to accept the next command.
+ * 
+ * _e is kept high apart from calling clock
+ * _rw is kept 0 (write) apart from actions that uses it differently
+ * _rs is set by the data/command writes
+ * 
+ * RS = 7
+ * RW = 6
+ * E  = 5
+ * Back light = 4
+ * D4 = 0
+ * D5 = 1  
+ * D6 = 2
+ * D7 = 3
