+Thank you for creating a pull request to contribute to Adafruit's GitHub code!		
+ Before you open the request please review the following guidelines and tips to		
+ help it be more easily integrated:		
+
+  - **Describe the scope of your change--i.e. what the change does and what parts		
+   of the code were modified.**  This will help us understand any risks of integrating		
+   the code.		
+
+  - **Describe any known limitations with your change.**  For example if the change		
+   doesn't apply to a supported platform of the library please mention it.		
+
+  - **Please run any tests or examples that can exercise your modified code.**  We		
+   strive to not break users of the code and running tests/examples helps with this		
+   process.		
+
+  Thank you again for contributing!  We will try to test and integrate the change		
+ as soon as we can, but be aware we have many GitHub repositories to manage and		
+ can't immediately respond to every request.  There is no need to bump or check in		
+ on a pull request (it will clutter the discussion of the request).		
+
+  Also don't be worried if the request is closed or not integrated--sometimes the		
+ priorities of Adafruit's GitHub code (education, ease of use) might not match the		
+ priorities of the pull request.  Don't fret, the open source community thrives on		
+ forks and GitHub makes it easy to keep your changes in a forked repo.		
+
+  After reviewing the guidelines above you can delete this text from the pull request.
