// @file LiquidCrystal_I2C.c
// This file implements a basic liquid crystal library that comes as standard
// in the Arduino SDK but using an I2C IO 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 I2C extension
// backpacks such as the I2CLCDextraIO with the PCF8574* I2C IO Expander ASIC.
//
// The functionality provided by this class and its base class is identical
// to the original functionality of the Arduino LiquidCrystal library.
