Because the LCD memory on the MSPM0 MCU maps to particular MSPM0 LCD pins, which then are connected to different pins on the LCD display, the memory to pin map sometimes difficult to know which LCD memory to write to in code in order to display a particular character in a specific space on the display. An useful method is to create #defines for your LCD to reference the correct LCD memory by typing the name of the particular LCD display pins to set. For example, the entire digit for position one on the LCD data sheet is set using four Sx pins, due to the pin connections on the board. Using define gLCDPinPositionx, when the code needs to show digit on position one, software can directly write the digit in position gLCDPinPosition1 on the display and let engineer easier to write and understand the code.
