// This is a test sketch which start your wireless connection with your watch and arduino. 
// Press * to turn OFF or press ^  to turn On an LED using your chronos wrist watch.

*** Warning when using Bluetooth***

1. Remove the RX and TX cables when uploading the sketch.

2. Connect TX to RX and RX to TX.

Challenge:

Use this assembly to simulate starting a car's ignition
