 /** Changelog:
+ * 2024-04-16 tonhuisman: Add Send values on change option, so Interval can be set to 0, and the data will be sent when changed
  * 2024-04-10 tonhuisman: Initial version. Support for Digipot MCP42xxx (dual channel) and MCP41xxx (single channel).
  *                        No support for daisy-chaining (MCP42xxx can do that, but not implemented)
  *                        RST and SHDN pins are not available on all boards, so should be set to none when not available.
