Library: UTFT

This library is the continuation of my ITDB02_Graph, ITDB02_Graph16 and RGB_GLCD libraries for Arduino and chipKit. As the number of supported display modules and controllers started to increase I felt it was time to make a single, universal library as it will be much easier to maintain in the future.

Basic functionality of this library was origianlly based on the demo-code provided by ITead studio (for the ITDB02 modules) and NKC Electronics (for the RGB GLCD module/shield).

This library supports a number of 8bit, 16bit and serial graphic displays, and will work with both Arduino, chipKit boards and select TI LaunchPads.
The library works great with the ITDB02 series of display modules from ITead Studio, the TFT01 series of display modules from ElecFreaks, and the RGB LCD Shield and module from NKC Electronics.

IMPORTANT:

Due to the size of the library I do not recommend using it on ATmega328 (Arduino 2009/Uno) and ATmega32U4 (Arduino Leonardo) as they only have 32KB of flash memory.

It will work, but you will be severely limited in available flash memory for your application.

Some demos showcasing most of the functions are included in the download.
This is a multi-platform library that will work with several different development board types.
