/*
* LiquidMenu library - buttons_menu.ino
*
* This example demonstrates how to use buttons, callback
* functions and changing text variables.
*
* It creates three screens. The first one displays static
* information. The second displays the analog reading and the
* state of the LED on pin 13. And the third one displays the
* PWM value applied on pin 3. The analog value is read periodically
* and assigned to the attached variable "const short analogValue".
* The LED on pin 13 is changing its state periodically and its
* attached variable is changed also. The PWM output pin 3 is
* controlled via the callback functions attached to its line:
* "void pwm_up()" and "void pwm_down()". To call the functions
* navigate to the third screen using the "left" or "right" buttons,
* focus the line using the "enter" button and then click the "up" or
* "down" button.
*
* The circuit:
* https://github.com/VasilKalchev/LiquidMenu/blob/master/examples/buttons_menu/buttons_menu.png
* - LCD RS pin to Arduino pin 12
* - LCD E pin to Arduino pin 11
* - LCD D4 pin to Arduino pin 5
* - LCD D5 pin to Arduino pin 4
* - LCD D6 pin to Arduino pin 3
* - LCD D7 pin to Arduino pin 2
* - LCD R/W pin to ground
* - LCD VSS pin to ground
* - LCD VCC pin to 5V
* - 10k ohm potentiometer: ends to 5V and ground, wiper to LCD V0
* - 150 ohm resistor from 5V to LCD Anode
* - LCD Cathode to ground
* - ----
* - Button (left) to Arduino pin A0 and ground
* - Button (right) to Arduino pin 7 and ground
* - Button (up) to Arduino pin 8 and ground
* - Button (down) to Arduino pin 9 and ground
* - Button (enter) to Arduino pin 10 and ground
* - A PWM controlled device (LED...) to Arduino pin 6
* - An LED to Arduino pin 13 (optional)
* - some analog input to Arduino pin A5 (unconnected also works)
