Fix 16x04 lines 3 and 4 #23

Closed petrkr closed 3 years ago

petrkr commented 5 years ago

When you using 4 lines with 16 cols, last two lines (3 and 4) are moved by 4 chars. It's because there is hard-coded move by 0x14... But that would work for 20x4 displays. For 16x04 memory map is arranged different way.

This fix is only for 16x04. Regarding to source web pages there could be more logic for other memory maps too (like 40x4 etc...)
