Why did you modify Robin's recvWithStartEndMarkers code?

I guess this is the problem:
Your parser sets commands[6]. The initial value of commands[6] is 0; this is not 87 and hence the parser will never be called from showNewData().

BTW, with a 1024 char buffer and a 200 byte buffer you're getting close to the limits of a 328 based board (Uno, Nano, ...); which board are you using?

i didnt modify that routine at all Robin did in the serial intro form those "New" parts are his, i only modified the parser. the parser sets commands[6] before it checks it for anything...
even if i modify the above mentioned code, I still get serial vomit because it doesnt work right

void showNewData() {
  if (newData == true) {
     parseData();
        if (Commands[6] == 87){
        //Serial.print("This just in ... ");
        //Serial.println(receivedChars);
        //parseData();
        showParsedData();
        newData = false;
      }
    }
}
