Update to example

Updates pins assignments in example to match Learn guide.

To use in CircuitPython, simply install the Adafruit CircuitPython bundle.

To use in CPython, pip install adafruit-circuitpython-charlcd.

Now with RGB non-PWM options

Added the ability to use digitalio pin setup for RGB character LCD backlights for use in place of PWM pins.

Sphinx update.

Thanks to @brentru for the great work!

New release with new Travis integration.

New release to trigger new Travis CI generation.

NOTE: There was also a breaking change to the API for the RGB LCD. The setColor function has been renamed set_color.

Updates to method calling parameters and documentation

Two calling parameters which were not implemented were removed . Both Character_LCD and Character_LCD_RGB classes had the changes in preparation for putting this library into the Adafruit_CircuitPython_Bundle.

2.1 Release refactor

This is an update to refactor the library closer to current CircuitPython library conventions. There is a breaking change in this release! The import structure for the module has changed from explicit imports of files:

import adafruit_character_lcd

or

import adafruit_character_lcd_RGB

To a single module which contains both normal and RGB LCD classes. In addition the class names have been changed from cirpyth_char_lcd and cirpyth_char_lcd_RGB to Character_LCD and Character_LCD_RGB respectively. No other functional changes were made to the LCD classes themselves.

You will need to update your imports and class creation to match what the examples now show. For example to use the normal LCD:

import adafruit_character_lcd
lcd = adafruit_character_lcd.Character_LCD(...)

Or the RGB LCD:

import adafruit_character_lcd
lcd = adafruit_character_lcd.Character_LCD_RGB(...)

The binary mpy files for this release are only compatible with CircuitPython 2.x. Note they might not work on CircuitPython 3.0+!

2.0.0 compatible

Same as 1.0.0 but mpys should be 2.x compatible.

V1.0.0: Now with RGB!

Compatible with CircuitPython V1.0.0. Works with the HD44780 and HD44780 with RGB Backlight LCD Displays.

1.0.0-rc.2

Compatible with CircuitPython V1.0.0 RC2
