Send command for RC Car

Something more like a standard RC transmitter, where the sender sends data at close intervals, even of the data is the same as what was sent last time, might be a better idea.

Ok great ideia, i will try apply your advice.

Once again, I thought the protocol was <, letter, value, >...

Sorry, i try now with only letters for my buttons...it´s working, for joystick i use only the number but is not for now.

But now i have another problem:

See my code:

#define SOP '<'                      
#define EOP '>'                      

bool started = false;                
bool ended = false;                  

char inData[80];
byte index;
unsigned long time=0;               
unsigned long time2=0;              
unsigned long time3=0;               
long timeout=20;
int led = 13;

const char turn_right_On[6]="EON";
const char turn_right_Off[6]="EOF";
cons tchar turn_lft_On[6]="DON";
const char turn_lft_Off[6]="DOF";
const char front_On[6]="FON";
const char front_Off[6]="FOF";
const char back_On[6]="RON";
const char back_Off[6]="ROF";
//----------------------------------------------------------
void setup()
{
   Serial.begin(9600);                // opens serial port
 pinMode(led,OUTPUT);
}
//-----------------------------------------------------------


void loop()
{
while(Serial.available() > 0)         
{
  char inChar = Serial.read();       
  
  
  if(inChar == SOP)                   
  {
  time = millis();                   
  index = 0;
  inData[index] = '\0';
  started = true;
  ended = false;
  }
  
  else if(inChar == EOP)
  {
  ended = true;
  break;
  }
  
  else
  {
   if(index < 79)
   {
   inData[index] = inChar;
   index++;
   inData[index] = '\0';
   }
  }
}


if(started== true && ended==false)
{
time2 = millis(); 
time3=(time2-time);

 if (time3>=timeout)
 {
 Serial.println("timeout");
 goto reset; 
 }
}
  
if(started && ended)
{
 
Serial.println(inData);
if (inData==turn_lft_On){
led==HIGH;
}

if (inData==turn_lft_Off){
led==LOW;
}  
  




 reset: 
    started = false;
    ended = false;
    index = 0;
    inData[index] = '\0';
    time=0;
    time2=0;
    time3=0;

}
}

I try when i receive the turn_lft_On turn led on and turn_lft_Off turn led off but nothing appears with the led...

I receive in serial comunication corrects data (in the line Serial.println(inData); i see in serial monitor DON (stored in turn_lft_On turn).

I´m thinking about a problem in data type between turn_lft_On turn and inData...
