AVRP-Serial Workaround

When you have a program that requires using the serial monitor, and you are using the AVRP to load the program into your Arduino, start by programming the Arduino with AVRP. For example this might have used COM3 on your PC
Disconnect AVRP from computer and from Arduino.
Connect USB cable from PC to Arduino
Go to IDE and select whatever new COM port shows up, eg. COM10 or whatever
Open serial monitor and all should work. (Remember to set correct baud rate on serial monitor).
