+/* A port test of the arduino voltmeter example using the 
+4.3' PCT 4d systems touch screen display.  
+
+uses the mbed_genie library ported from the arduino
+visie-genie library by Christian B
+
+The display serial TX and RX pins are connected to pin 9
+and pin 10 of the mbed
+
+The reset pin is not connected as reset function is not implemented
+
+Pin 15 of the mbed has a potentiometer wiper connected to it
+The other connections of the potentiometer are connected to +3.3V
+and 0V 
+
+For setting up the display in Visie-Genie
+
+The display has an angular meter objecr, a LED digits object, two buttons 
+and three static text objects.
+
+The program sends digital voltage readings to the LED digits and 
+angular meter of the display module.
+
+The On and Off button has been set to report on change
+
+The baud rate of the display is set to 115200 baud
