Method createChar

examples/AllProtocolsOnLCD/LiquidCrystal.cpp:280–287

Allows us to fill the first 8 CGRAM locations with custom characters This also sets cursor to 0.0

// with custom characters
// This also sets cursor to 0.0
void LiquidCrystal::createChar(uint8_t location, uint8_t charmap[]) {
  location &= 0x7; // we only have 8 locations 0-7
  command(LCD_SETCGRAMADDR | (location << 3));
  for (int i=0; i<8; i++) {
    write(charmap[i]);
  }
  // command(LCD_SETDDRAMADDR); // set cursor to 0.0, this avoids overwriting CGRAM by next write() command. Not contained anymore in the Arduino version
}
