  }

  // send an intro:

  // here's a String with empty spaces at the end (called white space):
  String stringOne = "Hello!       ";
  Serial.print(stringOne);
  Serial.print("<--- end of string. Length: ");
  Serial.println(stringOne.length());

  // trim the white space off the string:
  stringOne.trim();
  Serial.print(stringOne);
  Serial.print("<--- end of trimmed string. Length: ");
  Serial.println(stringOne.length());

  // do nothing while true:
  while (true);
