Maybe reading the updated Serial Input Basics thread might get you on the right track.
Thank you! I came across that post shortly before writing this thread and have toyed with some of the examples a little (specifically the second, since char can be converted into float), but am ignorant enough to not quite understand how to work them into my code. That being said, it seems the second example is specifically tailored to receive 32 characters. Would I need to modify "numChars" to be equal to 2 (permitting a receivable range of 00-99)? If I understand that correctly, I'm not sure I see the purpose in having it recognize an end character.
Thanks again!
