====== IclcdBlink() ======

''IclcdBlink()'' enables or disables cursor blinking.

{{:en-us_commands:reference:iclcdblink.svg?900|IclcdBlink command operation flow}}

''bool IclcdBlink(bool on = true, uint8_t device = 0)''

===== Commands =====

^ Command ^ Arguments ^ Return Value ^ Operation ^
| ''IclcdBlink(on, device)'' | ''bool on = true''\\ ''uint8_t device = 0'' | ''bool'' | Enables or disables cursor blinking. |


===== Example =====

This example connects a 20×4 PCF8574 character LCD at address ''0x27'' to the MPAINO-8A8R(T) I2C port. Change the ''IclcdBegin()'' arguments if your LCD has a different address or size.

<code cpp>
bool lcdReady = false;

void setup() {
  lcdReady = IclcdBegin(0x27, 20, 4);  // Set the LCD address and display size.
}

void loop() {
  if (!lcdReady) return;
  IclcdBlink(false);  // Enable or disable blinking at the cursor.
  delay(1000);
  IclcdBlink(true);  // Enable or disable blinking at the cursor.
  delay(1000);
}
</code>

===== Precautions =====

  * PCF8574 connections use the same mapping as the existing CLCD library: P0=RS, P1=R/W, P2=Enable, P3=backlight, P4~P7=LCD D4~D7.
  * Verify the LCD module's actual I²C address using its settings and I²C scan results.
  * SDA/SCL can share the bus with other I²C devices, but addresses must not overlap.
  * Do not run ''Wire'' transfers or I²C slave callbacks concurrently with ''Iclcd...()''. Iclcd transfers run at 100 kHz and then restore the previous TWI settings.
  * On MPAINO, using D20/D21 for external interrupts prevents simultaneous I²C use.
  * ''IclcdCommand()'' can change the LCD state directly. Use it only if you understand HD44780 commands.
