arduino read serial command and parse to variables
You can send command without any libraries to arduino. in this example "message" ( protocol) is "2 chars + number + number" -> "GO 123 -512"
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
// check if something on Serial
if(Serial.available()) {
// define variables
long number1, number2;
char cmd[2];
memset(cmd, 0, 2);
// read data from Serial
String s = Serial.readStringUntil('\n');
char buff[64];
memset(buff, 0, 64);
// convert string to char array
s.toCharArray(buff, 64);
// parse cmd to variables
sscanf(buff, "%2c %ld %ld",cmd, &number1, &number2);
char pr[128];
memset(pr, 0, 128);
// print template to buffer
sprintf(pr, "got 2 numbers from serial: %ld and %ld and command %s", number1, number2, cmd);
// print buffer back to Serial
Serial.println(pr);
}
