It was a case of what I harp on regularly... YES ME ",!," HAD I BUT READ THE MANUAL SUPPLIED WITH THE LIBRARY... I can only surmise it was the sheer shock to find an accurate and truly helpful display MANUAL. UNHEARD Of...
I might have not spent several wasted hours trying to just get a sketch to compile. It seems the compiler is quite happy with myGLCD.printNumI(month,Xcol,Yrow);. I've not yet connected it to a display and GPS device. I had to take the GLCD shield and add stackable headers and an 8" extension cable for the GLCD so I can use the ports underneath the GLCD itself. The ITead shield if a great demo shield but Very little else without an intermediate shield or a 40 pin extension cable for the GLCD.
Now If... There Only was One More Really Fine Book... for "The Cuneiform of the Compiler" damn thing gives me nightmares...
