UNO Rev 3 and SerialEvent

Projects Programming
1

Has anyone used SerialEvent() with the UNO Rev 3 yet? Is it supported with the REV3 version?

I can not get it to work without calling it by name from within the loop.
Isn't called whenever a character is present at the Rx pin without the need to call SerialEvent() from with the loop?

I can confirm that serialEvent() does work with the UNO Rev3. The problem was in my code. (I am migrating code from a PIC to the Arduino) I had a Do While loop within loop() that did not let loop() complete its first cycle, therefore serialEvent() was never called at the end of loop()

exactly why SerialEvent is imho not a preferred way to handle serial IO...

in fact it is just a function that you can call anywhere from loop too (or did I miss something?)
