+# Simple Serial Console (SSC)
+SSC is exactly what you think it is: A serial console without bloat.
+For simple communication you don't need anything else! You can use it to control most 3D-printers, an Arduino and loads more.
+
+You only need to know two things:
+1. The baud rate the device expects, which you can usually define manually or find somewhere in the info screen
+2. The line endings the device expects. It's not always documented, but usually starting with the default (`LF`) works.
+
 
 ## Usage
+_replace `ssc` with the name of your binary, e.g. `ssc-windows-amd64` or `ssc-linux-arm64`, or rename your binary to `ssc`_
 ```
 ssc <port> [<baud rate>] [<newline>]
 ```
