+/* This is a hack of Simon Ford's direct-driven TextLCD code.
+* It should be refactored to extract a common superclass
+* but my C++ isn't yet good enough :)
+*
+* The code assumes the following connections between the PCF8574
+* and the LCD
+*
+* nc - D0
+* nc - D1
+* nc - D2
+* nc - D3
+* P0 - D4
+* P1 - D5
+* P2 - D6
+* P3 - D7
+* P4 - E
+* P5 - nc
+* P6 - nc
+* P7 - RS
+* gnd - R/W
+*
+* D0-3 of the LCD are not connected because we work in 4-bit mode
+* R/W is hardwired to gound, as we only ever write to the LCD
+* A0-2 on the PCF8574 can be set in any combination; you will need to modify
+* the I2C address in the I2CTextLCD constructor.
+* Remember that the mbed uses 8-bit addresses, which should be
+* in the range 0x40-0x4E for the PCF8574
