Woohoo, week is over, got an official day off tomorrow and Monday, plus light work week next week. I need the rest.
I took some time to get back to Arduino, I picked up on another reason not to like upgrading the IDE, one thing that changed was PROGMEM, I tried to reuse some code and it did not work because of how you use it.
Still have to move from progmem to a variable, but the declaration is different.
Old way from 2012
PROGMEM prog_char TL_00[] = "Larry Apolonio"; PROGMEM char *TopLine[] = { TL_00, TL_01 };
New way
const char TL_00[] PROGMEM = "Larry Apolonio"; const char * const TopLine[] PROGMEM = { TL_00, TL_01 };
