  43  *
  44  *  Firmware for a USB Virtual Serial to HD44780 LCD controller project, by Simon Foster. This
  45  *  project connects a standard HD7780 compatible LCD controller to a PC via a virtual serial
  46  *  link, so that data supplied by the host can be written to the display. This project is
  47  *  designed to use the Minimum USB AVR board, however it can be modified to suit other hardware
  48  *  if desired.
