to the baud rate we plan to use to communicate with our board using the

monitor. The baud rate is nothing more than bits per second. For most

sketches based on Arduino Uno, a baud rate of 9600 is a good speed to use.

(It’s worth noting that often, more powerful microcontrollers will support a

higher range of bits per second.) Next, we finish our void setup with a closing

curly bracket, and we’re ready to move on to our next line of code.

The next line of code in our sketch starts off the void loop. Once again, as the

name suggests, the code inside the void loop is designed to loop continually

until the Uno no longer has pow ...
