This readme contains a short description on how to install
and use this library.

=== PREPARE THE ARDUINO IDE ===

Before this library can be used, the Arduino IDE should configured in order to
be able to compile C++11 code. This can be done by modifying the "platform.txt"
file:

1. Locate your "platform.txt" file: {install path}/hardware/arduino/avr/platform.txt
2. Add "--std=c++11" to the "compiler.cpp.flags" line. For example:
   compiler.cpp.flags=--std=c++11 -c -g -Os -w -fno-exceptions -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections
3. (Re)start the IDE to load the changes.

=== INSTALL AND USE ===

1. Download the "driver.zip" archive from the repository.
2. Copy the 3 "ledscreen_*" folders to your Arduino sketchbook/libraries folder.
3. (Re)start the Arduino IDE and open "driver.ino"
4. Optionally edit the sketch, compile and upload to the Arduino Mega.

=== MODIFY FONTS USING "mkfont" ===

1. Run the "mkfont" utility on your font-files as described in the manual.
2. Copy the newly produced .cpp and .h files to the "ledscreen_fonts" folder 
   (in the sketchbook/libraries directory).
3. Edit "ledscreen_driver/font.h" such that the headers match the ones generated by
   mkfont.
4. Recompile and upload the sketch
