Code Overview, Compile and run
The code is very simple.
We will initialise the LCD using the Adafruit char lcd library, we will turn the backlight so we can see what we print
on the screen, we will clean the script just in case some text left from before and then we show a message of "hello
world" we wait 5 seconds and repeat it all again, you might see the screen flickering, that's totally normal.
Compile the script by going into the samples directory and running: python3 lcd.py
