Hi,
Im a newbie and trying to get my head around the code. I found some code to switch on outputs via a sms and have modified it to suit my needs. It basically should read a string of characters via the serial monitor and enable or disable a output.
The issue I am having is I can see the text come in on the serial monitor and get stuck after the characters are displayed. I have commented in the code where the issue is. Im not sure why its getting stuck at this point. Im only guessing it may be something to do with its buffer position.
Using a UNO, GPRS Sheild V2.0, DFRobot 4 Relay
Any help is appreciated.
