#define LCD_MODE   LCD_MODE_4
#define LCD_FONT   LCD_FONT_5X7
#define LCD_LINES  LCD_DISPLAY_LINE_2

/* ~~~~~~ Control Pins ~~~~~~ */
#define LCD_RS_GPIO GPIOB
#define LCD_RS_PIN  3

#define LCD_RW_GPIO GPIOC
#define LCD_RW_PIN  4

#define LCD_EN_GPIO GPIOB
#define LCD_EN_PIN  0

/* ~~~~~~~~ Data Pins ~~~~~~~ */
#define LCD_D0_GPIO GPIOB
#define LCD_D0_PIN  1

#define LCD_D1_GPIO GPIOB
#define LCD_D1_PIN  2

#define LCD_D2_GPIO GPIOD
#define LCD_D2_PIN  5

#define LCD_D3_GPIO GPIOC
#define LCD_D3_PIN  0

#define LCD_D4_GPIO GPIOD
#define LCD_D4_PIN  1

#define LCD_D5_GPIO GPIOC
#define LCD_D5_PIN  1

#define LCD_D6_GPIO GPIOD
#define LCD_D6_PIN  2

2.1 Initialize:

LCD_Init();

3.1 Using LCD operation functions, for example:

   int main()
   {

      LCD_Init();
      
      /* Show character */
      LCD_Clear();
      LCD_PutChar('A');
      HAL_Delay(1000); // delay_ms(1000)

      while (1)
      {
        
        LCD_Clear();
        LCD_GotoXY(0,0);
        LCD_PutString("Hello");
        LCD_Shift(11, LCD_SHIFT_TO_RIGHT, 1000);
        LCD_Shift(11, LCD_SHIFT_TO_LEFT, 1000);
        HAL_Delay(1000); // delay_ms(1000)
        
      }
   }
