A library for driving LiquidCrystal displays (LCD) by using the I2C bus and an PCF8574 I2C adapter.

There are modules that can be soldered or stacked to the display that offers an I2C interface for communication instead of the 8+ digital lines that are used to send data to the display.

## Changes Version 2.2.0 (2023-04-03)

The default i2c address 0x27 is set as default parameter.

You can use an explicit i2c address with

``` cpp
LiquidCrystal_PCF8574 lcd(0x22); // set the LCD address to 0x27
```
or you can rely on the default i2c address = 0x27 with
``` cpp
LiquidCrystal_PCF8574 lcd(); // use the default LCD address == 0x27
```

See datasheet of PCF8574 (and PCF8574A) for further info on usable i2c addresses.

Thanks for contribution from @robaol
