/*
  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
