There are only two sentences on serialEvent in your thread. As an introduction the thread is fine, but it does not explain to the level that has been dug into in this thread and doesn’t need to. I did not gleam this information from that thread when I read it prior to my post on this same discussion. This isn’t the topic of this thread.
I think I said all that needed to be said. This is the excerpt
serialEvent()
I don't recommend using this function - I prefer to deal with the Serial data when it suits me. It behaves just as if you had this code as the last thing in loop().
if (Serial.available() > 0) {
mySerialEvent();
}
OK, I did not specifically say that it is not an ISR, but I think that can be inferred from my example.
