 * A 16x2 Text LCD controller
 *
 * Allows you to print to a Text LCD screen, and locate/cls. Could be
 * turned in to a more generic libray.
 *
 * If you are connecting multiple displays, you can connect them all in
 * parallel except for the enable (e) pin, which must be unique for each
 * display.
 *
 * Example:
 * > #include "mbed.h"
 * > #include "TextLCD.h"
 * >
 * > TextLCD lcd(p24, p25, p26, p27, p28, p29, p30); // rs, rw, e, d0, d1, d2, d3
 * >
 * > int main() {
 * >     lcd.printf("Hello World!");
