Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
_A clear and concise description of what the problem is.
I'm always frustrated when the factory test requires a human to make observations of something a machine might.
Describe the solution you'd like
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.
Factory Test
Use the bidirectional nature of the I2C interface to the LCD to test and report success / failure of the manufacturing of the Krake for LCD circuitry.
Additional context
Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.
This library: https://github.com/duinoWitchery/hd44780
has bidirectional interface to LCD.
In addition to adding features possibly useful in the GPAD_API, it has features useful for factory test.
- API functions return a status to indicate whether successful
- automatic detection and s/w work around for LCD keypad shields with bad backlight circuit
- self configuration of i2c address and pin mappings for i2c backpacks
- ability to tell if lcd initialization failed
- ability to read data or status from the LCD (requires r/w control)
- ability to tell if sending a raw command to the LCD failed
The author clearly thought of use cases for testing / verifying connectivity to LCD modules.
Beyond Factory Test
If these features make sense recommend changes to the GPAD_API to use these features.
