Keyboard.println()
Description
Sends a keystroke to a connected computer, followed by a newline and carriage return.
Keyboard.println() must be called after initiating Keyboard.begin().
WARNING: When you use the Keyboard.println() command, the Arduino takes over your keyboard! Make sure you have control before you use the command. A pushbutton to toggle the keyboard control state is effective.

Keyboard.println(character)
Keyboard.println(characters)
Parameters

// make pin 2 an input and turn on the
// pullup resistor so it goes high unless
// connected to ground:
