 #include "mbed.h"
 #include "SPI_TFT.h"
 #include "string"
 #include "Arial12x12.h"
 #include "Arial24x23.h"
 


 // the TFT is connected to SPI pin 5-7 
 SPI_TFT TFT(p5, p6, p7, p8, p15,"TFT"); // mosi, miso, sclk, cs, reset
 
 int main() {
     TFT.claim(stdout);      // send stdout to the TFT display 
     //TFT.claim(stderr);      // send stderr to the TFT display

     TFT.background(Black);    // set background to black
     TFT.foreground(White);    // set chars to white
     TFT.cls();                // clear the screen
     TFT.set_font((unsigned char*) Arial12x12);  // select the font
     
     TFT.set_orientation(0);
