```
minicom -D /dev/ttyACM0
```
where you should see something like this:
```
Welcome to minicom 2.7
OPTIONS: I18n
Compiled on Jan 11 2014, 10:01:22.
Port /dev/ttyACM0, 23:34:32

PYB: soft reboot
```
If you hit Ctl+C the running of /src/main.py is interrupted and you will be returned to the python prompt. The following is printed to the console:
```
