// @file LiquidCrystal_SR.h
//  Connects an LCD using 2 or 3 pins from the Arduino, via an 8-bit 
// ShiftRegister (SR from now on).
// 
// @brief 
// This is a port of the ShiftRegLCD library from raron and ported to the
// LCD library.
//
// The functionality provided by this class and its base class is identical
// to the original functionality of the Arduino LiquidCrystal library and can
// be used as such.
//
// Modified to work serially with the shiftOut() function, an 8-bit
// unlatched, no-tristate, unidirectional SIPO (Serial-In-Parallel-Out)
// shift register (IE a very simple SR), and an LCD in 4-bit mode.
// Any such shift register should do (pref. 74LS family IC's for 2-wire).
// I used 74LS164, for the reason that's what I had at hand.
//
// Connection description:
//
// SR output:
// Bit  #0   - N/C - not connected, used to hold a zero
// Bit  #1   - N/C
// Bit  #2   - connects to RS (Register Select) on the LCD
// Bits #3-6 - connects to LCD data inputs D4 - D7.
// Bit  #7   - enables the LCD enable-puls (via the diode-resistor AND "gate")
//
// 2 or 3 Pins required from the Arduino for Data, Clock and (optional) Enable
// If not using Enable, the Data pin will be used for the enable signal.
// 2 wire mode can be indicated by:
// - ommitting the enable pin in constructor
// - defining the same pin for Enable as for Data in constructor
// - by using the token TWO_WIRE for the enable pin.
//
// Data and Clock outputs/pins goes to the shiftregister.
// LCD RW-pin hardwired to LOW (only writing to LCD).
// Busy Flag (BF, data bit D7) is not read.

//
// History
// 2012.03.29  bperrybap - can now eliminate enable pin in constructor for two wire mode.
// 2011.10.29  fmalpartida - adaption of the library to the LCD class hierarchy.
// 2011.07.02  Fixed a minor flaw in setCursor function. No functional change, 
//             just a bit more memory efficient.
//             Thanks to CapnBry (from google code and github) who noticed it.
//             URL to his version of shiftregLCD:
//             https://github.com/CapnBry/HeaterMeter/commit/c6beba1b46b092ab0b33bcbd0a30a201fd1f28c1
// 2009.07.30  raron - minor corrections to the comments.
//             Fixed timing to datasheet safe. Fixed keyword highlights.
// 2009.07.28  Mircho / raron - a new modification to the schematics, and a
//             more streamlined interface
// 2009.07.27  Thanks to an excellent suggestion from mircho at the Arduiono 
//             playgrond forum, the number of wires now required is only two!
// 2009.07.25  raron - Fixed comments. I really messed up the comments before 
//             posting this, so I had to fix it.
//             Renamed a function, but no improvements or functional changes.
// 2009.07.23  Incorporated some proper initialization routines
//             inspired (lets say copy-paste-tweaked) from LiquidCrystal
//             library improvements from LadyAda.
// 2009.05.23  raron - first version, but based mostly (as in almost verbatim)
//             on the "official" LiquidCrystal library.
