// serialStr:
// serialStr is a quick and easy way to read complete c strings from the serial port. It
// runs in the background reading bytes from the serial port as they are available. When
// it finds the EOS char, typically the newline char '\n', it calls the user's callback
// function to deal with the string that has been read in.
//
// You will need to make a call to idle() in your main loop() function. And, as always,
// don't use delay(). That will stop everything.
