> Advanced Tip 3: When using multi-file sketches, the compiler will throw a "redefinition error" if you define the same Custom Characteristic in more than one file. To avoid this error and allow the same Custom Characteristic to be used across more than one file, add the line `#define CUSTOM_CHAR_HEADER` *before* `#include "HomeSpan.h"` in each file containing a *duplicate* definition of a previously-defined Custom Characteristic.
