The Code
For this tutorial, we will be using an mbed library. Libraries can be found under the Handbook for official, mbed-supported libraries or the Cookbook for user-
created mbed libraries.
Libraries
mbed.org user Jim Hamblen modified a 4D LCD library to work with our uLCD-144-G2. We copied (also known as “forked”) his library for use in this tutorial.
Go to mbed.org and sign in to your account.
Navigate to the mbed 4DGL-uLCD-SE library page.
Click “Import this library” on the right side of the page. You will be brought to the mbed Compiler and asked to import the library. Fill in a program name (e.g.
“ulcd_demo”) for “New Program” and click “Import.”
