Display "Ricardo." using the built-in font:
```
char* name = "Ricardo.";
module.setDisplayToString(name);
```
Display "Ricardo " with dots on every other letter:
```
char* name = "Ricardo ";
module.setDisplayToString(name, 0b10101010);
```
Display "foo bar":
```
char* foo = "foo";
char* bar = "bar";
module.setDisplayToString(foo, 0);
module.setDisplayToString(bar, 0, 4);
```
# Font character data #
Fonts can be created like the built-in font:
```
// definition for the displayable ASCII chars
const byte FONT_DEFAULT[] = {
