I tried to make a sheet that captured all the things i. In the getting started code, the data being transmitted is an unsigned long. The expected behaviour is that bits are shifted to the left, and that bits which are shifted out of the 16 bits an int has are simply dropped. So i was surprised, given its popularity that i couldnt find a singlepage reference for the arduino online. So this function is portable across different compilers that use different type sizes.
