Test HD44780 LiquidCrystal Library for platforms other than MSP430 = Tiva C Series + MSP432

[robertinant]

Right now the LiquidCrystal Library is only visible for MSP430. Testing needs to be done for the other platforms so that it can be included for those platforms as well.

I have tested it with "Hello World" on the MSP432 and the TMC123GXL successfully. See this post: http://forum.43oh.com/topic/9186-hello-world-using-coglcd/?p=69914.

I think that LiquidCrystal should be considered a core library - many beginner kits and exercises like Sparkfun's SIK use it.

Hey guys, does anyone know if there is a liquid Crystal library for HD44780 displays which works with tm4c 129EX launchpad?

Please check on the 43oh forum.

thanks, by the way, what do you think a msp430 library of the same LiquidCrystal will not work on tiva -tm4c 129Xl launchpad? if I import it into suitable folder. Because I did the same for C2000 Piccolo Launchpad, and it worked without any issue.

See https://github.com/energia/Energia/issues/803#issuecomment-166010139, if it works on TM4C123, it will work on TM4C129.
