+unsigned char
+=============
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+An unsigned data type that occupies 1 byte of memory. Same as the
+`byte <http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/Byte>`_ datatype.
+
+
+
+The unsigned char datatype encodes numbers from 0 to 255.
+
+
+
+For consistency of Arduino programming style, the *byte* data type
+is to be preferred.
+
+
+
+Example
+-------
+
+::
+
+ unsigned char myChar = 240;
