Hello,How do you read and implement item 6:
" 6. Start your favourite terminal application. Serial Monitor will work fine."
Thank you,

In the tools menu of the Arduino IDE there is a 'serial monitor' selection that will launch a small standalone serial monitor application that you can use to send and receive characters to an attached arduino board. Be sure you set the serial monitor's baud rate to match the baud rate you use in your running sketch on the arduino board. You can also use most any PC terminal application that you might have or obtain, and they usually have many more features on them that the arduino IDE serial monitor does not. I like brey terminal on my windows PC and there are many other free PC terminal applications avalible if you want or need something more powerful then the arduino serial monitor.
