*Open the Sketchbook->Examples->Communication->ASCIITable, compile it, and run it on your processor.
* This program does basic text communication from the processor to your PC, running through all of the characters in the alphabet.
* With Click on the "Serial Monitor, " button (to the right of the "Upload to Board" button) in the arduino software. verify that your processor is communicating with the PC (do you see the letters streaming by).
* Assuming you have a sensor which produces an analog output, hook it up to one of the Analog Inputs on your arduino. If you do not have a sensor, use the light sensor from last week. If you are not sure how your sensor works, come over and talk to me and we can try to figure it out.
* Run a short program to read data from that sensor and send it to the Serial port.
