A port of the LiquidCrystal (HD44780) Arduino library for the Raspberry Pi using Python

Currently supports 4-bit mode only (8/26/17)

Usage:

Wire LCD pins RS, E, D4 to D7 to any GPIO pins. Example:

Import LiquidCrystalPi and initiate class LCD:

import LiquidCrystalPi

LCD = LiquidCrystalPi.LCD(<rs>,<enable>,<d4>,<d5>,<d6>,<d7>)
LCD.begin(<columns>, <lines>)

Write string:

LCD.write("<string>")

Also needs RPi.GPIO as import

See HelloWorldPi.py for complete code

Available Commands (as of 8/26/2017):

command(value)                 #send a command

write(string or character)     #write a string or character

clear()                        #clear LCD screen

home()                         #set cursor to row 1, col 1

nextline()                     #set cursor to row 2

moveright()                    #move cursor one position to the right

moveleft()                     #move cursor one position to the left

The contents of this library and README will be continuously updated.
