+===== USE THE SERIAL PORT IN SOFTWARE =====
+By default, the serial port is configured as a console port for interacting with the Linux OS shell.  If you want to use the serial port in a software program, you must disable the OS from using this port.
 ===== Serial Library =====
 WiringPi includes a simplified serial port handling library. It can use the on-board serial port, or any USB serial device with no special distinctions between them. You just specify the device name in the initial open function.
