Gamepad Shield Example

This example shows an application on 1Sheeld's gamepad shield.

OPTIONAL:
To reduce the library compiled size and limit its memory usage, you
can specify which shields you want to include in your sketch by
defining CUSTOM_SETTINGS and the shields respective INCLUDE_ define.

Modified code for v2.3 library by Garry Gerwer

Arduino
Created by Garry Grewer, this code works for the newer version of the motor shield v2.3
