…to continuously send sensor data over serial? I need to send analog pin readings as a string like this: “0 analogRead(0) 1 analogRead(1)” etc. Right now, I can’t get the loop to execute faster than every 7 ms, and sometimes there’s a hiccup in the data flow, which makes my application unreliable. …

This will send all 6 values in 12 bytes. The unused bits in the first byte are set to 1's to indicate the first value. void loop() { int buf[8]; for (int i=0; i<8; i++) { buf[i] = analogRead(i); } buf[0] |= 0xFC00; // Set bits 11-15. Serial.write((char *)buf, sizeof buf); }

What’s the fastest way…

Oops. My mistake. Fixed it to do all 8 analog input pins of an Arduino Nano.
