Methods

CreateFromShiftRegister(Int32, Int32, Int32[], Int32, ShiftRegister, Boolean)	Creates a ShiftRegister based interface for the LCD.
CreateGpio(Int32, Int32, Int32[], Int32, Single, Int32, GpioController, Boolean)	Creates a GPIO based interface for the LCD.
CreateI2c(I2cDevice, Boolean)	Create an integrated I2c based interface for the LCD.
Dispose()	Performs application-defined tasks associated with freeing, releasing, or resetting unmanaged resources.
Dispose(Boolean)	Releases unmanaged resources used by LcdInterface and optionally release managed resources
SendCommand(Byte)	Sends command to the LCD device
SendCommandAndWait(Byte)	The initialization sequence and some other complex commands should be sent with delays, or the display may behave unexpectedly. It may show random, blinking characters or display text very faintly only.
SendCommands(ReadOnlySpan<Byte>)	Send commands to the LCD device
SendData(Byte)	Sends byte to LCD device
SendData(ReadOnlySpan<Byte>)	Sends data to the LCD device
SendData(ReadOnlySpan<Char>)	Sends data to the LCD device
WaitForNotBusy(Int32)	Wait for the device to not be busy.
