Hi Bill,
just uploaded the last changes to the LCD library. I haven't released it as such, but uploaded the change set to the main repo. This is what will become V 1.1.3.
Main highlights:
- Configuration of I2C extender pin mapping (with a very low hit on performance - less than 0,8%).
- Configurable FAST_MODE, i.e. setting the control line pulse duration to be optimized or not.
I have also seen that the library, even without the FAST_MODE active is 2x more performant than the original LiquidCrystal.
If you are interested is in the regular place, but download it through the repo, i.e. (get source).
After a weeks testing I be releasing it.
I have also posted the library to the Maple team, see what they say/think.
