  Serial Enabled LCD Kit
  by: Jim Lindblom - SparkFun Electronics
  Characters received in a serial stream are displayed on a 16x2,
  20x4, etc. LCD. Special commands are also available to clear, scroll
  display cursors and other functions.
  
  License: Beerware - As long as you retain this notice you
  can do whatever you want with this stuff. If we meet some day, 
  and you think this stuff is worth it, you can buy 
  me a beer in return.
  
  Revisions:
  9/29/10 - Added support for 20x4, 16x4 and 20x2 LCDs.
  See special commands 0x03 through 0x06. LCD size is stored
  in EEPROM and retained upon loss of power.
  
  The circuit:
  * LCD RS pin to digital pin 2
  * LCD R/W pin to digital pin 3
  * LCD Enable pin to digital pin 4
  * LCD D4 pin to digital pin 5
  * LCD D5 pin to digital pin 6
  * LCD D6 pin to digital pin 7
  * LCD D7 pin to digital pin 8
  * 10K resistor:
  * ends to +5V and ground
  * wiper to LCD VO pin (pin 3)
 
  Uses the LiquidCrystal Arduino library to control the LCD
