Hi Homey!

I'm actually on ND+ (not 2) - Hope no issues here

So I'm posting working examples made from other examples that:

-use threads

-one thread is posting test message every 5sec

-second is printing in debug received messages

Everything works for me - thanks to all who made some code for serial and sharing it
