Interfacing 16×2 LCD with 8051 microcontroller:

A 16×2 LCD display is a very basic module and is very commonly used in various devices and circuits.
16×2 Liquid Crystal Display which will display the 32 characters at a time in two rows (16 characters
in one row). Each character in the display is of size 5×7 pixel matrix.

com(0x01); //clear screen
while(text[i]!='\0'){ //continue to print till we get the null character
// this block is intentionally commented. to be used when printing more than 16 characters
/* if(i>15){
