If you got your sketches from the git repo, I think print_to_serial.ino should be in the same directory and automatically open in the IDE.

If you didn't get the sketches through git, well, get them through git. Serious. It's so convenient.

i did get them from there..... just copied the raw text

looked through git.... did not see it...

google found it:

I'm not sure but we may be confusing git and github.

I meant install git on your computer, create a new directory where you want to work, then use git to synchronize with the files on the git repository.

On linux, it's dead easy. Move to the directory, then issue command

    $ git clone url_of_the_repo

I don't know about other platforms. Since the command line under windows is less than rudimentary, you'd rather use a GUI, but the principle is the same.

If you're not familiar with git or other versioning systems, you may be interested in having a look at it. It's helpful.

Now, if you want to take one thing at a time, leave this for a little later, and at least pick up all files at once.

There's a ZIP button you can use to download all the code in one archive. Much better than picking files one by one.

Git makes it even better, it tracks your changes, manages merges with newer versions, etc.
