Serial Input Basics

From what I have read of the Link in Reply #70 its code is fundamentally different to the approach in the tutorials which started this Thread because the code in that link does not receive all the characters in a message before trying to interpret them.

I prefer the concept of receiving all the data and using the standard atoi() and atof() functions to convert ascii to numeric values.
