+Instructions:
+
+1). Complete the “hands-on” exercises first
+    - Required to get setup with an mbed account and the compiler environment
+
+2). Import the “df-2013-minihack-thermostat” project into your mbed project workspace
+    - Be sure to add and make current the “mbed LPC1768” board as the current board 
+      to compile to. You can modify the GPS coords and devie name in the same manner
+      that you did in the hands-on session - this will enable you to quickly and easily
+      identify your device on the map
+
+3). Examine Thermostat.cpp in your project
+    - In the top of the file, examine the Mini-hack challenge statement 
+    - Follow those instructions to modify the code to create a way to write text from the
+      Heroku webservice  
+
+A successful implementation will:
+    - Enable you to see your mbed device on the map
+    - Clicking on the device name (its a URL link) you should be able to go to the Devices
+    - page on the website and enter "text" for the message name followed by a text message
+    - after a brief delay, the text message should pop up briefly on the mbed device LCD
