Hi David I'm sure it's easier than I'm making it.
Really, I just need to turn the data from the arduino into usable floats. Right now it's coming in as ascii characters and I'm building lists between carriage returns. Hopefully I can now turn those lists into numbers without too much trouble. Should I maybe be doing this with binary numbers? Would that be easier? cheers dafydd On Sun, Mar 1, 2009 at 7:44 PM, PSPunch <[email protected]> wrote: > > 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.
