Hello Igor, Make a record with same structure in your receiver. Give it the same address as the pointer where you receive data to (with a ReadPtr and WritePtr). Set a flag if you have recieved >= 8 bytes, then you know the length to receive. Allocate enough memory and reallocate if nececary, leve the memory intact to save time, you canuse it for next packet.
