  Wiring:
   LCD pin 1 (VSS) -> Arduino Ground
   LCD pin 2 (VDD) -> Arduino 5V
   LCD pin 3 (VO)  -> Arduino Ground
   LCD pin 4 (RS)  -> Arduino digital pin 12
   LCD pin 5 (RW)  -> Arduino Ground
   LCD pin 6 (E)   -> Arduino digital pin 11
   LCD pin 11 (D4) -> Arduino digital pin 5
   LCD pin 12 (D5) -> Arduino digital pin 4
   LCD pin 13 (D6) -> Arduino digital pin 3
   LCD pin 14 (D7) -> Arduino digital pin 2

#include <LiquidCrystal.h> // include the library

// initialize the library with the numbers of the interface pins
LiquidCrystal lcd(12, 11, 5, 4, 3, 2);

void setup() {
  // set up the LCD's number of columns and rows:
  lcd.begin(16, 2);
  // start writing on the first row and first column.
  lcd.setCursor(0, 0);
  // Print a message to the LCD.
  lcd.print("hello, world!");
}

void loop() {
  // No need to do anything to keep the text on the display
