// The LCD controller is wired to the I2C port expander with the upper 4 bits
// (D4-D7) connected to the data lines and the lower 4 bits (D0-D3) used as
// control lines. Here are the control line definitions:
//
// Command (0) / Data (1) (aka RS) (D0)
// R/W                             (D1)
// Enable/CLK                      (D2) 
// Backlight control               (D3)
//
// The data must be manually clocked into the LCD controller by toggling
// the CLK line after the data has been placed on D4-D7
