^^ Disable serial port console

edit `/boot/cmdline.txt` and remove all ttyAMA0 leaving:

.pre
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ cat /boot/cmdline.txt
dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline rootwait bcm2708.w1_gpio_pin=4
.pre

also, comment out ttyAMA0 in `/etc/inittab`

^^ connect Arduino serial

RX->TX
TX->RX

pin definitions in GPIO.RPi are physical pins on board *not* BCM or wiring ip!
