# Program: Send Strings to an Arduino From a Raspberry Pi
# File: send_strings_to_arduino.py
# Description: This program runs on a Raspberry Pi. It sends strings
# to Arduino. It also receives the string it sent
# and prints it to the screen. This provides bi-directional (2-way) communication
# between Arduino and Raspberry Pi.

# Set the port name and the baud rate. This baud rate should match the
# baud rate set on the Arduino.
# Timeout parameter makes sure that program doesn't get stuck if data isn't
# being received. After 1 second, the function will return with whatever data
# it has. The readline() function will only wait 1 second for a complete line
# of input.
