	PlayNote
Output a single note on the buzzer. Specify the desired frequency (Hz) and duration (ms).
- UINT	Frequency
Sets the pitch for the note in Hz. Range 1-20000 Hz
- ULONG	Duration
Time period to play the note for in milliseconds. Range 0-65535 ms
- VOID	Return

	DisplayWrite
Write an array containing 16 bytes to the display to illuminate the corresponding dots. The index represents the line (Y-axis), starting from 0 for the uppermost line. The value of the byte represents the column (X-axis), with MSB the leftmost dot.
- BYTE	Array
Index = line, Content (byte) = column
- VOID	Return

	PotRead
Read and return the value of the potentiometer. If desired, give the upper limit to scale the output value. Enter "MaxValue = 0" to skip scaling and get the byte value (0-255)
- UINT	MaxValue
Scale the return value. Enter 0 to skip.
- UINT	Return

	PwrLedSet
Control the PWR LED. 0 = red + green 1 = red 2 = green
- BYTE	Value
0 = red + green, 1 = red, 2 = green
- VOID	Return

	EEStoreValue
Saves a value to none volitile memory
- BYTE	Address
Address to write to, Range: 0-255
- BYTE	Value
Value to store, Range: 0-255
- VOID	Return

	MP3PlayTrack
Plays track from the selected folder. MP3 & Advert folder track numbers should be 4 characters long e.g. "0001-anyname.mp3". Other folder track numbers should be 3 characters long e.g. "001-anyname.mp3".
- BYTE	Directory
0=Root, 01=Folder "01" - 99=Folder "99", 100=Folder "MP3", 101=Advert
- UINT	Track
Track number 1 = "001.mp3" / "0001.mp3"
- VOID	Return

	MP3GetStatus
Returns the status of the MP3 module. 0 = module in sleep 1 = track is playing 2 = track is pauzed 3 = track is stopped
- BYTE	Return

	MP3PausePlayResetStop
Allows the current playing track to be paused, restarted or stopped.
- BYTE	Mode
0=Pause, 1=Play, 2=Reset, 3=Stop
- VOID	Return

	MP3SendCommand
Send commands to MP3 module. Check datasheet for info.
- BYTE	Command
- BYTE	Para1
- BYTE	Para2
- VOID	Return

	EEReadValue
Retreives a value from none volitile memory
- BYTE	Address
Address to write to, Range: 0-255
- BYTE	Return

	DisplayWriteNumber
Show a number ranging from 000 to 999 on the display. Number is printed vertically.
- UINT	Value
Enter a number from 0 to 999.
- VOID	Return

	DisplayClear
Clear the display.
- VOID	Return

	BatteryRead
Read and return the voltage level of the battery in millivolt.
- UINT	Return

	LedsWrite
Set the button-leds. MSB = leftmost led LSB = rightmost led
- BYTE	Value
MSB = leftmost dot, LSB = rightmost dot
- VOID	Return

	MP3SetVolume
Sets the volume level for the MP3 module
- BYTE	Volume
Range: 0 (min) - 30 (max)
- VOID	Return

	DisplayBrightness
Control the brightness of the display.
- BYTE	Value
Enter value from 0 to 15
