emul_lcd
What is it ?
This library display a virtual 16x2 LCD on your computer ! It's written in C++ and is (hopefully) cross-platform.
For now, only a debug VisualStudio solution in present in the project but this will evantually change.
This library will be near 100% compatible calls with the regular LiquidCrystal Arduino library.
It can be very useful if you're working on your PC and don't have access to actual hardware.
100% compatible you said ?
Well, keep in mind, this is still Work in Progress, so not all calls are implemented yet.
