+ Arduino TFT text example
+
+ This example demonstrates how to draw text on the
+ TFT with an Arduino. The Arduino reads the value
+ of an analog sensor attached to pin A0, and writes
+ the value to the LCD screen, updating every
+ quarter second.
+
+ This example code is in the public domain
+
+ Created 15 April 2013 by Scott Fitzgerald
