/* SerLCD - NewHaven Display Example Send serial data using the Serial.

print() function to a Newhaven serial enabled display using only 3 wires. This sketch also introduces function declaration. You will need the datasheet for you display to know what the hexidecamal values are for the different commands used. The pinout for the NHD-0216K3Z-FL-GBW is as follows: RX GND VDD o o o SPI/I2C Connetions o o o o o o

The circuit: * LCD RX to Arduino TX * LCD GND to Arduino GND * LCD VDD to Arduino 5V Note: The command values are not in HEX format, they have been changed to there decimal equivalents.
