I am afraid it is not. It is graphics only and no 4 bit mode. But it
doesn't look to complicated. Most complicated is my connection scheme. I
wan't to connect it to my i2c bus. (Stupid me!) I have two options for
this, one is using a slightly exotic 16 bit IO expander. Or using 2
'standard' PCF8574 devices, one for 8 data lines and one for the control
lines. Personally I favor the second option, since ironing is less
complicated.

Any comments?
