Sending ASCII quotation marks

Projects Programming

Hi all,
I've got an Arduino Uno which I'm using to send ASCII via the serial port to control a video server. It all works fine apart from one command - I'm trying to send 1@"BMW.MPG"SE, but it's getting confused over the quotation marks.

Here's the full line of code:

Serial.println("1@"BMW.MPG"SE", DEC);

There's probably an obvious solution, but I can't see it! If anyone could help, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

You use the backslash character to 'escape' characters you can't normally put in a string constant:

Serial.println("1@\"BMW.MPG\"SE", DEC);

And since you don't print strings as decimal numbers it should really be:

Serial.println("1@\"BMW.MPG\"SE");

Thanks! Works perfectly. I'll remember that trick.
