The Serial.available() command allows us to check if a data byte has already been saved into the buffer/array. Simple and safe: int answer 42 Serial.print ('The answer is ') Serial. By executing the Serial.read() command, we read the 8-bit ASCII code (the lower 8-bit of the 16-bit wide member) of the buffer and save into a byte oriented variable for further processing.Ĥ. However, it is always better to avoid using String objects if at all possible, because they use dynamic memory allocation, which carries some risk of memory fragmentation. When the above frame enters into the Receiver Section of the MCU, the 8-bit ASCII code is extracted from the frame (after error checking if enabled) at the same time, an 8-bit Status Code is generated these 2-byte data (lower byte is the ASCII Code) is automatically saved in an unseen int-type buffer/array.ģ.

SERIAL PRINT ARDUINO VARIABLE SERIAL
When we send A (for example) from the Serial Monitor, the ASCII code 0x41 (lower bit is transmitted first under 10-bit wide UART Frame) is transmitted to the ATmega328P MCU of UNO Board.Ģ. This command takes the same forms as Serial.print (). Need to review few basics of UART Serial Communication, and these are:ġ. Prints data to the serial port as human-readable ASCII text followed by a carriage return character (ASCII 13, or '\r') and a newline character (ASCII 10, or ' ').
