Finding a sketch that allows you to display text is not hard either.  But what I didn't know was that you could use the serial monitor to type your text onto the screen.  I thought that this was worth sharing.  Thank you to the Visuino team for making great software and tutorials to make learning Arduino much easier.</p><h3 >TEXT</h3><p >If you use the code below, once the code is uploaded to your board open your serial monitor and type the text.  Then click &#34;send&#34;.  This is a cool feature that I didn't know existed.</p>
