-This is a tutorial on how to write small modules which run on the device. Modules are bits of regular 'Arduino' code that can send and receive packets to other Nodes/Apps/PCs using the Meshtastic mesh.
+The purpose of this tutorial is for writing new core modules that can be ran on a device. In most cases, it is best to start with utilizing the serial module rather than creating a new one. However, if you're interested in creating a new core functionality from scratch, then building a module would be appropriate.
