Jobi-Wan:
Does the library come with any example sketches that show how it is intended to be used?
Not really, the "Examples" page just shows some finished (sic) projects.
the web-site is here if you want to look.
I really like RemoteXY, it's simple enough to use, I can modify my screen layout and content in the EDITOR, generate the "source code", and copy/Paste-over the configuration block in my sketch. When the phone connects, it sends all the _CONF data to the phone to reproduce the design-time.
Not being able to read from that _CONF array isn't a deal-breaker. I'm only using it to get the screen background colour RGB values, I can see the number, so I'll continue just quoting it literally.
