Hey guys,
i'm getting periodic input data from a Bluetooth over the comport device like:

print: 100
print: 28
print: 0
print: 132
print: 4
print: 100
print: 28
print: 0
print: 132
print: 4

...and so on. You see it's always 5 bytes with number 100 starting the series.
Now I want to store these numbers in a 5-element-list/pack to work with that.

I thought about starting to read with [== 100], but I'm not sure how to continue and how to store that. Do you think that the with [list append] or [pack f f f f f] objects it could work somehow?

Thanks for your help!

@manuelgaviria This will do as you wish.......... packer5.pd
Vanilla and extended.
There is some "double checking" that the sequence starts with 100 and is 5 long...... so maybe some redundancy. It can cope with a "data" packet of 100...... but if that is the absolute first "message" to arrive then it is not identifiable as such.

I will post again when I can remember how to do it properly.

You can use a [sel 100] to initiate your algorithm and just prepend 100 to your list (since it will have been absorbed by [sel])

@manuelgaviria Another quick solution. With this one, '100' will always start a new list, incomplete lists will be discarded: pack5.pd
