+/***************************************************
+  This is a library for the Adafruit RGB 16x2 LCD Shield
+  Pick one up at the Adafruit shop!
+  ---------> http://http://www.adafruit.com/products/714
+
+  The shield uses I2C to communicate, 2 pins are required to
+  interface
+  Adafruit invests time and resources providing this open source code,
