/*
Serial Event example
When new serial data arrives, this sketch adds it to a String.
When a newline is received, the loop prints the string and clears it.
A good test for this is to try it with a GPS receiver that sends out
NMEA 0183 sentences.
NOTE: The serialEvent() feature is not available on the Leonardo, Micro, or
other ATmega32U4 based boards.

String inputString = ““; // a String to hold incoming data
bool stringComplete = false; // whether the string is complete
void setup() {
// initialize serial:
Serial.begin(9600);
// reserve 200 bytes for the inputString:
inputString.reserve(200);
}
void loop() {
// print the string when a newline arrives:
if (stringComplete) {
Serial.println(inputString);
// clear the string:
inputString = ““;
stringComplete = false;
}
}
/*
SerialEvent occurs whenever a new data comes in the hardware serial RX. This
routine is run between each time loop() runs, so using delay inside loop can
delay response. Multiple bytes of data may be available.
*/
void serialEvent() {
while (Serial.available()) {
// get the new byte:
char inChar = (char)Serial.read();
// add it to the inputString:
inputString += inChar;
// if the incoming character is a newline, set a flag so the main loop can
// do something about it:
if (inChar == ‘\n‘) {
stringComplete = true;
}
}
