    The shiftBriteDisplay would then be fed a frame of data at a time

    would it be better to have a movie class, holding all frames, as an member in shiftBriteDisplay
    shiftBriteDisplay would then call loadFrame from the movie class
    Movie class is essentially an array of frames with a circular buffer type of implementation
    
    I think first option better as this would mean I can easily change movie content and have the movie
    in control of updating the frame etc.

/** shiftBriteDisplay class.
* Used to write data to one (or more) shiftBrite module(s) via the SPI port on FRDM KL25Z module.
*
* Dynamically allocates storage for each module, based on <moduleCount> provided to the constructor.
* Takes in references for the required hardware: SPI, Latch, Enable, and, if implemented, Reset.
* Shiftbrite modules does NOT have a reset line but can be reset by removing the power. The reset line
* referenced will toggle to allow you to implement the required hardware.
* @param Serial Pointer
  @param Latch Pin
  @param Enable Pin 
  @param Reset Pin 
  @param SPI Port (Data and Clock)
  @param moduleCount int
*
*   Example:
*   @code
    #include "mbed.h"
    #include "sbDriver.h"
    //This code is licenced as "BEERWARE" and used at own your own risk and discretion. Coded by Johan Kritzinger 8/2014.
    Serial PC(PTA2, PTA1);//Access to serial port
    DigitalOut latch(PTC16);//to LI pin of shiftBrite module
    DigitalOut enable(PTA13);//to EI pin of shiftBrite module
    DigitalOut reset(PTC12);//to power control circuit of your doing - NOT MANDATORY
    SPI spi(PTD2,NC,PTD1);//PDT2 = MOSI to DI and PDT1 to CI of shiftBrite module

    shiftBriteDisplay sbDisplay(&PC,latch, enable, reset, spi,6);//for, say, 6 modules wired in SERIES.
    
    //If you wish to change the DOT CORR registers
    sbDisplay.setCurrentCorr(0x78,0x64,0x64);//use values you want to set as default. These are the suggested values
    
    //Now, you can either call a member function to update the actual display OR
    //set it up using a Ticker. This is how you setup a ticker
    Ticker t;
    t.attach_us(&sbDisplay,&shiftBriteDisplay::displayFrame,41666);//call updateFrame 24 times per second (every 41666uS)
    //Ticker will automatically call sbDisplay.displayFrame()
    while(1){
        //Now just fill in the colours you want
        sbDisplay.setLed(0,1023,0,0); //FULL on red on the LAST display in the chain
        sbDisplay.setLed(5,0,1023,0); //FULL on green on first (remember the display has 6 leds in this example) LED
        //etc......
    }

*       @endcode
*
*       @note - Usage of shifBriteDisplay::setLed() member is as follows:
*       @code object.setLed(LedModuleNum,red, green, blue); //where colours are in the range of 0-1023@endcode
*       or
*       @code object.setLed(LedModuleNnum,RGB);// where RGB is in a range from 0x000000 to 0XFFFFFF (0xRRGGBB)@endcode
*       @note NB, In the second method each colour has a range of 0-255 (0-0xFF) but that is expanded to the full range. This can be convenient but
*       I suggest the first method is the best.
*       
*
*
*        TO DO: 
*        See if thee is a better way to deal with the serial port.
*        Write a frame and movie class to abstract dealing with individual LED's
*        @endnote
