Serial LCD Display Module

Serial LCD enabled control of parallel LCD with RS232 serial interface. This greatly reduces the coding effort in developing application that requires LCD display. It also save I/O as only 1 or 2 pin is required. In addition to that, longer cable distance is possible with the RS232 interface. ( 500 ft with baud rate of 9600 )
