LCD and LCD i2c

[slothy]

Hi,

I'd like to share with all a 'port' of arduino's LCD lib, for the hd44780 bases LCDs. It's mainly a translation from c++ code to python.

Do not hessitate to comment.

After "translating" code from c/c++ to Python it might sound reasonable to stick with it's GPL license. But in the embedded world the less viral MIT or BSD license seems to be more applicable.

I also have a library over here:
https://github.com/dhylands/python_lcd/tree/master/lcd
which works with GPIO or I2C, and is licensed using the MIT license.

Just created the repo on github interface. You are right i'll move to MIT, and i also forgot to mention the original project, my bad.

This should probably go under "Drivers for External Components" :)

I took the liberty of moving this to Drivers for External Components .
