Thanks for the reply and some clarification as to what is going on AWOL, are you aware of any articles or what subject matter I should be looking at to make all this make more sense to me?
What I vaguely think I should do is check for the amount of Bytes and then use a counter to process all of them and combine them into 1 variable so I can output the pH to an LCD or serial monitor... I can't stress how new all of this is to me. This is a long stride from making a LED blink.
