The module defaults to a 4 line of 30 character display using the 5x7 font with single pixel
spacing. The cursor position auto increments after each character write. The bottom left of a
character is placed at the cursor x,y. The M(odule) Busy line indicates the module is busy
when high. Connect the H(ost) Busy input to the MBusy to disable handshaking. Use the
button to select the configuration which is then stored in EEPROM. To send commands as
hexadecimal, prefix the 2 bytes using character 60H. Example: `10`3F`01 = Position dot x=64
y=1. To send character 60H to the display, send 60H twice.
