// @file LiquidCrystal_SRG.h
// This file implements a basic liquid crystal library that comes as standard
// in the Arduino SDK but using a generic SHIFT REGISTER extension board.
// 
// @brief 
// This is a basic implementation of the LiquidCrystal library of the
// Arduino SDK. The original library has been reworked in such a way that 
// this class implements the all methods to command an LCD based
// on the Hitachi HD44780 and compatible chipsets using a 3 wire latching
// shift register. While it has been tested with a 74HC595N shift register
// it should also work with other latching shift registers such as the MC14094
// and the HEF4094
//
// This particular driver has been created as generic as possible to enable
// users to configure and connect their LCDs using just 3 digital IOs from the
// AVR or Arduino, and connect the LCD to the outputs of the shiftregister
// in any configuration. The library is configured by passing the IO pins
// that control the strobe, data and clock of the shift register and a map
// of how the shiftregister is connected to the LCD.
//
