Connecting Puck.js to wired Serial

What baud rate are you connecting with? You'll need 9600 baud (the default).

The best way to test is when connected with Bluetooth you can run the commands:
```
Serial1.on('data',d=>print("Serial>",JSON.stringify(d));
Serial1.println("Hello");
```
So you can see if any data is being received and can try pushing data.

As @MaBe says you'll need to apply power to the puck while it is connected to the FT232R (which is plugged into USB). Enabling the Serial port uses quite a bit of battery power so Puck.js only does it when it's sure there is a connection.

Or you can also try enabling it manually with:
```
Serial1.setup(9600,{rx:D29,tx:D28});
```

I'm using the defaults when I pick the device in Serial2, I think it's something like 9600,8,N,1 ? I can check tonight to be sure, but I know I was using at least 9600 baud, 8 bits, and no parity.

I'll have to try the first script set you gave me later tonight as well, but I did try Serial1.println("blah") and got nothing.

Shouldn't
```
Serial1.setup(9600,{rx:D29,tx:D28});
```
be
```
Serial1.setup(9600,{rx:D28,tx:D29});
```
?
