I made a new library for the LCD & Keypad Shield - it is available from DFRobot.com, nuelectronics.com, ekitszone.com, etc.:

The one recommended to use with these is LCD4Bit_mod, but the standard LiquidCrystal library works just as well with modified pin numbers - use this:

LiquidCrystal(8, 9, 4, 5, 6, 7)

This library inherits LiquidCrystal and adds another method: button - to read button pushed on a keypad.

I have also included an example - a simple number guessing game that you can play with the Up, Down and Select buttons.

Download the library here:

Any comments will be appreciated.
