LED_Display_Wrapper.h

/****************************************************************************************************** 
  This library is for controlling multiple 14-Segment displays.

  Designed specifically to work with the Tickertape Retro Display
        http://tickertape.cc/


  These displays use I2C to communicate, 2 pins are required to 
  interface.

  This library is a wrapper of the AdaFriut LED Backbackpack and GFX libraries:
        https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-GFX-Library
        https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_LED_Backpack

  The Adafruit Backpack library dosnt support the '.' full stop, and I didnt like some of their font
  choices for the number digits, so I have created a modified version:
