LCD Test

This document describes code for interfacing with a 16x2 LCD display. It defines the LCD pins - data, register select, read/write and enable - and maps them to ports on a microcontroller. Functions are defined to initialize the LCD, send commands and data, display strings, and generate delays. The main function initializes the LCD, displays two strings on the first and second lines, and enters an infinite loop.
