=== Notes and Warnings
Please note that `serialEvent()` *does not work* on any modern Arduino boards. The only recognized boards to have support as of 2023/12/06 is the *UNO R3* and *Mega 2560 R3*, which are based on the ATmega328P and ATmega2560 chips.

Instead, you can use the link:../available[`available()`] method. Examples in this page demonstrates how to read serial data only when it is available, which is exactly what `Serial.event()` does.
