+# Hints
+## Arduino Channels
+Arduinos have assigned channels. This channel is selected whe flashing the arduino (Flash Menu).
+In Step #3, Channel 0 Corresponds to Channel A, 1 to B, 2 to C, and so forth.
+
+## Available Pins
+Do not use Pins D0 and D1, as they are used for serial communication between airmanager and the arduino.
+You can use Pins D2 and upwards.
+
+## Default assignment

+Changes to the selection are stored until the instrument is removed from the panel.
+It will reset to the default when the instrument is added again.
