Arduino does not have a split function like Processing does, SO, you need to make your own split function.
Here is something I made to help me. this will take in 3 values and change them to ints.
#include<string.h>
int X,Y,State,currentCommand=0;
String x,y,state;
// LED connected to pin 13 (on-board LED)
byte ledpin = 13;
void setup()
{
pinMode(ledpin, OUTPUT);
Serial.begin(9600); // start serial communication at 9600bps
}
void loop() {
if( Serial.available()) // if data is available to read
{
digitalWrite(ledpin, HIGH); //if data is being entered
char val= Serial.read();
if (val == ','){
currentCommand++;
}
else {
switch (currentCommand) { //add more case statements for more data
case 0:
x += val; //stores as a string
val = ' '; //clear for new char
break;
case 1:
y += val; //stores as a string
val = ' ';
break;
case 2: //gets the last data
state += val; //stores as a string
val = ' ';
currentCommand = 0; // this only allows one char to be saved here, modify to save more.
X=x.toInt(); //delete .toInt() if needed
Y=y.toInt(); //delete .toInt() if needed
State = state.toInt(); //delete .toInt() if needed
//shows what you entered
Serial.print(X);
Serial.print(", ");
Serial.print(Y);
Serial.print(", ");
Serial.println(State);
x="";y="";state=""; //clear values
X=0;Y=0;State=0; //clear values
break;
}
}
}
digitalWrite(ledpin, LOW);
}
Hope this is able to get you started.
