 +==== Unable to establish any connection to the script ====
 +  * It is always a good idea to test the script first using a terminal emulator, such as Hyper Terminal or PuTTY on Windows 9x to make sure communication works. ​
 +  * If you get no connection or garbled text, you may try to play with the Flow Control settings. Sometimes you will need to select Hardware, or XON / XOFF for the flow control. ​
 +  * Make sure the Max speed setting matches what the script is operating on. 
 +  * Make sure you are using the right COM port on the computer or terminal emulation software. Go to Control Panel --> System --> Device Manager and under Ports, verify your serial port name. For example in my case it is COM1.
