#serial lcd

So I've had experience getting the Serial LCD and 5-position Switch working in a basic manner based on learn.parallax.com.  But now I want to get them to work together!

So I have them hooked up onto the PropBOE based on the following "principles"

The only thing I did different was because the Serial LCD is interfacing with pin 0, I moved all of the pins up 1 for the switch's connections.  So the wire originally connecting pin 0 to the switch would now be connected to pin 1, 1 became 2, 2 to 3, and so on.

I combined the LCD and the Switch code from the Kickstarts and did a little pruning.  When I ran the program, both lines on the LCD had the same direction of the switch, and the lettering wouldn't clear off properly.  So if I had pressed:

UP --> RIGHT--> DOWN --> UP ... The screen would look like this:

UP

UP

RIGHT

RIGHT

DOWNT

DOWNT

UPWNT

UPWNT

And when I made it so that text would clear up, I guess I used the "12" command code which just made it so that as soon as I let go of the switch, the direction disappeared from the screen.

And well then I started thinking about how it was most likely my code that was the issue and so I tried changing up WHEN different things happen.  Instead of doing something after the switch's direction was displayed, I decided to do it before.

So this code sees whether the switch has been pressed to a particular position, then clears the screen, and displays the direction!  And it works!
