+  Software serial multiple serial test
+
+ Receives from the hardware serial, sends to software serial.
+ Receives from software serial, sends to hardware serial.
+
+ The circuit:
+ * RX is digital pin 2 (connect to TX of other device)
+ * TX is digital pin 6 (connect to RX of other device)
+
+ Note:
+ Not all pins on the Elbear Ace-Uno support interrupts,
+ so only the following can be used for RX:
+ 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9
+
+ created back in the mists of time
+ modified 25 May 2012
+ by Tom Igoe
+ based on Mikal Hart's example
+
+ This example code is in the public domain.
