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
