Can anybody hear me?"); // Print "Hello!" over hardware UART digitalWrite(RXLED, LOW); // set the RX LED ON TXLED0; //TX LED is not tied to a normally controlled pin so a macro is needed, turn LED OFF delay(1000); // wait for a second digitalWrite(RXLED, HIGH); // set the RX LED OFF TXLED1; //TX LED macro to turn LED ON delay(1000); // wait for a second }
