+## Testing
+The flashed unit can be tested with a standard terminal program, like the
+serial monitor of the Arduino IDE. For this, set the baud rate to 115200, and
+the line ending to carriage return. It is now possible to communicate
+with the unit using the [commands of
+Girs](http://www.harctoolbox.org/Girs.html). Just type the command to
+the program, and the unit will respond.
+Exactly which commands are

+receiver. The raw capture will be output to the terminal program. Using

+versions 1.1.*. Presently, it is not an independent program, it is just AGirs
+with certain options enabled, namely
+the CPP symbols TRANSMIT, CAPTURE, LED, and (optionally) NON_MOD

+program mimics the capture command with a demodulating sensor, for
+usage with IrScrutinizer without a non-demodulating sensor.
+
+* What about Girs4Lirc?
+
+This is a version of Girs, "optimized" for Lirc, using the Lirc
+<code>girs</code> driver by yours truly. At the time of this writing,
+it is not yet found in the
+released Lirc, but in the "master" branch in its Sourceforge
+repository, which can be checkout with the command
+
+<pre>git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/lirc/git lirc-git</pre>
+
+Like GirsLite, this is not an independent program, but corresponds to a version of AGirs supporting TRANSMIT,
+NON_MOD (optionally), RECEIVE, LED, LCD, DECODE (only to the LCD), TRANSMITTERS
+(only a dummy implementation). Documentation is found with the Lirc
+driver, in the file <code>girs_driver.html</code>.
