Added a better printing method which enables the decimal point, spaces, hyphens, and underscores.

MikeDombo and others added 3 commits August 24, 2017 16:44
Add hyphen and underscore, option to clear display or persist, and right
shift. Added field to hold the bytes currently on the display. Changed
constructor to add the digitLimit in the constructor.
