+## Changing the Serial Port 
+You can change what serial port that ```cin```, ```cout``` and ```printf()``` use. You can use built-in serial ports (e.g. ```Serial1``` on Leonardo) or you can use software serial ports that implement ```Stream```. 
+
+### Using a Built-in Port 
+In ```src/ArduinoSTL.cpp``` change the value of ```ARDUINOSTL_DEFAULT_SERIAL```. Leave the other defaults uncommented. 
+
+### Using a SoftwareSerial port. 
+Set ```ARDUINO_DEFAULT_SERAL``` to ```NULL```. Comment out the other defaults. 
+
+Here's an example sketch that uses SofwareSerial:
+
+```c++
+#include <ArduinoSTL.h>
+#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
+
+SoftwareSerial mySerial(0, 1);
+
+namespace std { 
+  ohserialstream cout(mySerial);
+  ihserialstream cin(mySerial);
+}
+
+void setup() {
+  mySerial.begin(9600);
+  ArduinoSTL_Serial.connect(mySerial);
+}
+```
+
+## Avoiding Instantiation of ```cin``` and ```cout```
+Comment out ```ARDUINOSTL_DEFAULT_CIN_COUT``` and nothing will be instantiated. You must comment out this flag if you intend to select a non-default serial port. There's no appreciable overhead for using ```printf()``` so you cannot currently avoid initializaing it.
 
 ## Known Issues
 
-Printing of floats and doubles using cout ignores format specifiers.

 uClibc seems to be fairly complete. Strings and vectors both work, even with the limited amount of heap available to Arduino. The uClibc++ status page can be found here:
