00023 /* This is a hack of Simon Ford's direct-driven TextLCD code.
00024 * It should be refactored to extract a common superclass
00025 * but my C++ isn't yet good enough :) 
00026 *
00027 * The code assumes the following connections between the PCF8574
00028 * and the LCD
00029 * 
00030 * nc  - D0
00031 * nc  - D1
00032 * nc  - D2
00033 * nc  - D3
00034 * P0  - D4
00035 * P1  - D5
00036 * P2  - D6
00037 * P3  - D7
00038 * P4  - E
00039 * P5  - nc
00040 * P6  - nc
00041 * P7  - RS
00042 * gnd - R/W
00043 *
00044 * D0-3 of the LCD are not connected because we work in 4-bit mode
00045 * R/W is hardwired to gound, as we only ever write to the LCD
00046 * A0-2 on the PCF8574 can be set in any combination; you will need to modify
00047 * the I2C address in the I2CTextLCD constructor.
00048 * Remember that the mbed uses 8-bit addresses, which should be
00049 * in the range 0x40-0x4E for the PCF8574
