LCD

The document describes interfacing a 16x2 LCD display with a PIC microcontroller. It defines the LCD data and control pins, initializes the LCD in 8-bit mode, clears the display, and turns off the cursor. It then writes two strings of text, one to each line of the display, in a continuous loop. Functions are used to send commands and data to the LCD, write strings, and generate delays.
