===== FTDI Pictorial =====
The following is a reminder note of how to use Arduino IDE to monitor a Pi serial pin.\\

Hook the Pi Tx pin, pin #08 to the FTDI Txd pin #05 which is really receive as viewed from the FTDI.  Pin numbering of the FTDI is as follows:\\
1. Gnd\\
2. Gnd\\
3. Vcc\\
4. Tx out to Rxd of arduino\\
5. Rx in from Txd of arduino\\
6 DTR\\

The following shows how somebody used the Arduino IDE with FTDI cable to monitor a device:\\
