 Call `latest_received_msg()` to fetch the most recent message from the python side. Note: This does not actually _read_ the message from the python side, but rather is an interface the store message on the arduino to be accessed. To actually receive messages, you must call `sync()` (see below). 
     - Parameters:
         - _int_ `index`: If specified, it will fetch the message sent on that particular index from the python side. If unspecified, it will fetch the full message. 
+    - Return:
+        - String of the received message
 
 3. **Prepare to send a message to python side**:  
 Call `load_msg_to_python()` to load the message which will be sent to the python side. You must specify the name of each message and the payload itself. A good way of doing this is shown in the example code. Example: `load_msg_to_python(msgName, dataCarrier, size_of_array(msgName));`
