simon 0:cc002f2fad97 13 * Initialisation
simon 0:cc002f2fad97 14 * ==============
simon 0:cc002f2fad97 15 *
simon 0:cc002f2fad97 16 * After attaching the supply voltage/after a reset, the display needs to be brought in to a defined state
simon 0:cc002f2fad97 17 *
simon 0:cc002f2fad97 18 * - wait approximately 15 ms so the display is ready to execute commands
simon 0:cc002f2fad97 19 * - Execute the command 0x30 ("Display Settings") three times (wait 1,64ms after each command, the busy flag cannot be queried now).
simon 0:cc002f2fad97 20 * - 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.
simon 0:cc002f2fad97 21 * - If you want to use the 4 bit mode, now you can execute the command to switch over to this mode now.
simon 0:cc002f2fad97 22 * - Execute the "clear display" command
simon 0:cc002f2fad97 23 *
simon 0:cc002f2fad97 24 * Timing
simon 0:cc002f2fad97 25 * ======
simon 0:cc002f2fad97 26 *
simon 0:cc002f2fad97 27 * Nearly all commands transmitted to the display need 40us for execution.
simon 0:cc002f2fad97 28 * Exceptions are the commands "Clear Display and Reset" and "Set Cursor to Start Position"
simon 0:cc002f2fad97 29 * These commands need 1.64ms for execution. These timings are valid for all displays working with an
simon 0:cc002f2fad97 30 * internal clock of 250kHz. But I do not know any displays that use other frequencies. Any time you
simon 0:cc002f2fad97 31 * can use the busy flag to test if the display is ready to accept the next command.
simon 0:cc002f2fad97 32 *
simon 0:cc002f2fad97 33 * _e is kept high apart from calling clock
simon 0:cc002f2fad97 34 * _rw is kept 0 (write) apart from actions that uyse it differently
simon 0:cc002f2fad97 35 * _rs is set by the data/command writes
