Hi Daffydd,
I don't recall having too much trouble transferring bytes from an Arduino over to [comport]. Do you not have any data flowing between the two, or is your concern more about how numeric figures are to be formatted? -- David Shimamoto > Hey Hans-Christoph > > Actually, I've had the sensor working with Arduino and pulsing LEDs > for a while - that part's fine.
