PeggyWriter example has erors

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The example 'PeggyWriter_Hello' has a few errors in it that prevent compiling 
as well as some kerning errors in the text display. A corrected version is 
below:



/* Simple example code for Peggy 2.0, using the Peggy2 and PeggyWriter libraries
*/

#include <Peggy2.h>
#include <stdlib.h> 
#include <PeggyWriter.h>

Peggy2 frame1;     // Make a frame buffer object, called frame1
PeggyWriter myWriter;  // Make a PeggyWriter object

void setup()                    // run once, when the sketch starts
{
     frame1.HardwareInit();   // Call this once to init the hardware
}  // End void setup()  


void loop()                     // run over and over again
{ 
  byte x = 2, y = 1;

  myWriter.drawCharacter('H',&frame1, x, y);
  x += 5;
  myWriter.drawCharacter('E',&frame1, x, y);
  x += 4;
  myWriter.drawCharacter('L',&frame1, x, y);
  x += 4;
  myWriter.drawCharacter('L',&frame1, x, y);
  x += 4;
  myWriter.drawCharacter('O',&frame1, x, y);
  x = 0;
  y += 7;
  myWriter.drawCharacter('W',&frame1, x, y);
  x += 6;
  myWriter.drawCharacter('O',&frame1, x, y);
  x += 5;
  myWriter.drawCharacter('R',&frame1, x, y);
  x += 5;
  myWriter.drawCharacter('L',&frame1, x, y);
  x += 4;
  myWriter.drawCharacter('D',&frame1, x, y);
  x += 5;

  while (1)
  {
    frame1.RefreshAll(1);
    delayMicroseconds(1000);
  }

}

PeggyWriter is contributed software that is not officially supported or 
maintained.  You may wish to contact the author of that software directly-- I 
don't know if the author would notice this issue here.

If you have tested this fix and would like to add it to the project-- in the 
repository or as a download -- please let me know and I can add you as a 
committer on the project.

As it was working several days ago, your error is clearly unrelated to the 
Issue 4.  This report is misfiled and inappropriate.

To make the PeggyWrite_Hello demo work change the x, y types to uint8_t and 
pass the address of frame1 instead of the direct instance itself.  

I'm not sure why it took over a year and a half for someone to post this simple 
code change fix and/or update the code. So much for open source and community :)

void loop()                     // run over and over again
{ 
  uint8_t x = 2, y = 1;

  myWriter.drawCharacter('H', &frame1, x, y);
  x += 4;
  myWriter.drawCharacter('E', &frame1, x, y);
  x += 4;
  myWriter.drawCharacter('L', &frame1, x, y);
  x += 4;
  myWriter.drawCharacter('L', &frame1, x, y);
  x += 5;
  myWriter.drawCharacter('O', &frame1, x, y);
  x = 0;
  y += 7;
  myWriter.drawCharacter('W', &frame1, x, y);
  x += 6;
  myWriter.drawCharacter('O', &frame1, x, y);
  x += 5;
  myWriter.drawCharacter('R', &frame1, x, y);
  x += 4;
  myWriter.drawCharacter('L', &frame1, x, y);
  x += 5;
  myWriter.drawCharacter('D', &frame1, x, y);
  x += 5;

  while (1)
  {
    frame1.RefreshAll(1);
    delayMicroseconds(1000);
  }

}
