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;
