WEEK 6
Serial Communication

Lab 1 Serial input Questions

What does Number() mean? Is it similar to int()?    -YES.

​

It prints undefined when I tried to apply serial.readLine();

​

With if(inString.length>0), will 1023 be read as 1, the first digit?

Lab 2 Serial output Questions

Why Arduino send inByte (serial.read) out? Where to send it to?

​

-The microcontroller sends it to p5. So, in the P5, you can check what the Arduino receives, and if it is what you sent. 

​

How does the computer know what 'data' is, what 'error' is, and what 'list' is? Are they build-in events?

​

Yes.

​

Why String.parseInt does not translate numeric characters? 

​

Is it possible for the p5 to send two values at the same time?

​

Yes. It is multi-message communication.
