+The following example can be used to print out the value of a received byte to the serial monitor, using the left shift operator to move along the byte from bottom(LSB) to top (MSB), and print out its Binary value:

+[source,arduino]
+----
+// Prints out Binary value (1 or 0) of byte
+void printOut1(int c) {
+  for (int bits = 7; bits > -1; bits--) {
+    // Compare bits 7-0 in byte
