/*
* LCD interface example
* Uses routines from delay.c
* This code will interface to a standard LCD controller
* like the Hitachi HD44780. It uses it in 4 bit mode, with
* the hardware connected as follows (the standard 14 pin
* LCD connector is used):
*
* PORTB bits 0-3 are connected to the LCD data bits 4-7 (high nibble)
* PORTA bit 2 is connected to the LCD RS input (register select)
* PORTA bit 3 is connected to the LCD EN bit (enable)
*
* To use these routines, set up the port I/O (TRISA, TRISB) then
* call lcd_init(), then other routines as required.
