This display provides basic text wrapping so that your text looks right. You have full control over all of its advanced LCD features, allowing you to move the cursor anywhere on the display with a single instruction and turn the display on and off in any configuration. It directly supports ASCII Dec 32-127, the same visible characters as the BASIC Stamp Editor's Debug Terminal. In addition, you may define up to eight of your own custom characters to display anywhere on the LCD.
