HiPi::Interface::SerLCD provides an implementation of HiPi::Interface::HD44780 for LCD devices using the Sparkfun SerLCD controller.
The module inherits many of its methods from HiPi::Interface::HD44780.
The module can accept one of the following literal values when using the inherited 'update_baudrate' method. 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400, 19200, 38400 The following are the methods specific to this implementation. See HiPi::Interface::HD44780 for inherited methods.
%params contains a number of key value pairs Required key value pairs width => $width lines => $lines You must specify the geometry of your LCD e.g. my $lcd = HiPi::Interface::SerLCD->new( width => 16, lines => 4, ); Optional params and their defaults backlightcontrol => 0 specify if methods setting the level of backlight can be used. The method $lcd->backlight will only work if you set backlightcontrol => 1 in the constructor. devicename => '/dev/ttyAMA0' baudrate => 9600 parity => 'none', stopbits => 1, databits => 8, Example complete constructor call: my $lcd = HiPi::Interface::SerLCD->new( width => 16, lines => 4, backlightcontrol => 1 );
Toggles splash screen display on / off
Sets the current top 2 lines of text as the splash screen.
If the SerLCD gets into an unknown state, call this to reset the LCD to default settings.
