best way to receive and parse messages from serial
Sep 22nd, 2009, 1:47pm  
I am sending x,y and z coordinates from Arduino as int values. Since they are turned into ascii the number of bytes per number varies.
i.e. 0 is one byte  but the number 123 would be three bytes sent.

What is the best way to have processing receive these three values?

i.e. How should I separate them in the arduino code and then how do I parse them?
Should I have a start byte and end bytes seperating the numbers and identifying the start of each data string that contains all three values?

just send them as one String seperated by any Char you want and seperate them again using http://processing.org/reference/split_.html
