simon	1:ac48b187213c	28	* Initialisation
simon	1:ac48b187213c	29	* ==============
simon	1:ac48b187213c	30	*
simon	1:ac48b187213c	31	* After attaching the supply voltage/after a reset, the display needs to be brought in to a defined state
simon	1:ac48b187213c	32	*
simon	1:ac48b187213c	33	* - wait approximately 15 ms so the display is ready to execute commands
simon	1:ac48b187213c	34	* - Execute the command 0x30 ("Display Settings") three times (wait 1,64ms after each command, the busy flag cannot be queried now).
simon	1:ac48b187213c	35	* - 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	1:ac48b187213c	36	* - If you want to use the 4 bit mode, now you can execute the command to switch over to this mode now.
simon	1:ac48b187213c	37	* - Execute the "clear display" command
simon	1:ac48b187213c	38	*
simon	1:ac48b187213c	39	* Timing
simon	1:ac48b187213c	40	* ======
simon	1:ac48b187213c	41	*
simon	1:ac48b187213c	42	* Nearly all commands transmitted to the display need 40us for execution.
simon	1:ac48b187213c	43	* Exceptions are the commands "Clear Display and Reset" and "Set Cursor to Start Position"
simon	1:ac48b187213c	44	* These commands need 1.64ms for execution. These timings are valid for all displays working with an
simon	1:ac48b187213c	45	* internal clock of 250kHz. But I do not know any displays that use other frequencies. Any time you
simon	1:ac48b187213c	46	* can use the busy flag to test if the display is ready to accept the next command.
simon	1:ac48b187213c	47	*
simon	1:ac48b187213c	48	* _e is kept high apart from calling clock
simon	1:ac48b187213c	49	* _rw is kept 0 (write) apart from actions that uyse it differently
simon	1:ac48b187213c	50	* _rs is set by the data/command writes
