In lesson 18 you learned how to read integers or floating point numbers into the Arduino from the Serial Monitor. It is also very helpful to be able to read Strings, or words from the Serial Monitor. In this video we show you the ins and outs of reading Strings into the Arduino.

If you want to follow along at home, an official Arduino Uno R3 is available HERE. In this new series of lessons, I will be using the sensor and other components found in this KIT.
