 ## Compile and Upload
 
 The final steps to do are to compile and to upload the sketch. We'll do this with two separate commands. To compile, we need to pass the FQBN in the command to specify what board we want to compile it for, and we need to tell it what sketch we want to compile. We'll compile the sketch we created earlier to be uploaded to an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense. We can do this with the command:
 ```
-arduino-cli compile --fqbn arduino:mbed_nano:nano33ble MySketch 
-``` 
-Once you execute this command, it's going to start compiling unless something went wrong. If it looks like nothing is happening - Great! That probably means that everything is going as it should. Depending on the core, compiling might take a few minutes. Be patient, it may seem like it's taking too long, but give it time. Eventually, you'll get a statement about the memory use, libraries included, and platform used. 
+arduino-cli compile --fqbn arduino:mbed_nano:nano33ble MySketch

 Now that the sketch is compiled, let's upload it! For this, we need to specify the FQBN again, as well as the port the board is connected to, so it's uploaded to the right place. To find the port, go back to the board list we got earlier, ours is connected to port `COM14`, but replace this part of the command with whatever port your list says. Now execute the command:
 ```
 arduino-cli upload -p COM14 --fqbn arduino:mbed_nano:nano33ble MySketch

 ## Introduction
-Threading is a concept that is used on many operating systems to run tasks in parallel. An Arduino example of two such tasks could be to read the position of a potentiometer knob while controlling a servo motor to follow that position. Running such tasks in parallel is also called multitasking. 
+Threading is a concept that is used on many operating systems to run tasks in parallel. An Arduino example of two such tasks could be to read the position of a potentiometer knob while controlling a servo motor to follow that position. Running such tasks in parallel is also called multitasking.
 
 Previously Arduino sketches didn't support the concept of multitasking, unless you took specific measures to support it. With this so called single-threaded approach instructions in your Arduino sketch are executed sequentially one by one. If an instruction or a function call respectively makes the runtime environment wait for its execution to complete, it's called a "blocking" function. You may have encountered the limitations of this when interacting with multiple sensors and actuators at once. For example if you let a servo motor react to the data read from a potentiometer as mentioned above. While the servo motor is moving to its target position no further reading of the potentiometer can be done because the program waits until the servo is done moving. To solve this issue multitasking can be used which allows to "simultaneously" execute multiple task such as reading from a sensor and controlling a motor. In the context of multitasking a thread is basically a mechanism (provided usually by the operating system) to encapsulate a task to be run concurrently with others.

 ## Introduction
 While both `SPI` and `Wire` are communication protocols which explicitly exist to facilitate communication between one server device and multiple client devices there are no such considerations for the `Serial` interface. `Serial` communication usually exists in a one-to-one mapping between two communication partners of equal power (both can initiate communication on their own right, there is no server/client relationship).
 
-One example would be an Arduino sketch sending AT commands to a modem over a Serial connection and interpreting the result of those commands. Another example would be a GPS unit sending NMEA encoded location data to the Arduino for parsing. In both cases the only sensible software representation for such functionality (AT command module or NMEA message parser) is a single thread. Also in both cases it is undesirable for other threads to inject other kind of data into the serial communication as this would only confuse i.e. the AT controlled modem which reads that data.

 A good example for multiple threads writing to `Serial` would be logging where mixing messages from different sources doesn't cause any harm. A possible example for multiple threads reading from `Serial` would be to i.e. split an NMEA parser across multiple threads, i.e. one thread only parses RMC-messages, another parses GGA-messages, etc. In any case the thread-safe `Serial` supports both single-writer/single-reader and multiple-write/multiple-reader scenarios.
