I posted this in the abstract section of this forum, but since it deals with Arduino, I'm posting it here too.

Just made two absrtactions, [serial_parseInt] and [serial_println], that work with Arduino's corresponding functions.
Did this mostly cause most of the Arduino code one can find, uses Serial.println(), when it comes to serial communication.

Get the abstractions with their help patches, and a simple Arduino code that works with the help patches here https://github.com/alexandros301/Arduino_println_parseInt_to_from_Pd

Update:
I made the [serial_println2] abstraction that can handle strings as key to values (one word strings only). The same git, goes with println2.ino Arduino sketch also provided from git.

Example:
you can write the following to the Arduino:
Serial.print("first");
Serial.println(value);

and diffuse the value in Pd with [route]. Check help patch for info.
Note: this one uses [bytes2any] from moocow.

Thanks for posting this! I really appreciate having an approach to use print instead of write. It makes it much cleaner to use a simple data packet and parse it in Pd.

I created a bi-directional example that can be expanded to easily support more bytes which can be downloaded here:
https://github.com/Jiffer/mmArduinoPd

It uses a single character to indicate the beginning "A" and end "a" of a packet, which opens and closes a gate without using [bytes2any].

Nice! I'll have a better look at it in the coming days. It's nice to see that this is useful to someone..

Cheers

I just posted new patches that simplifies this idea even further. You may dig it. Making videos soon.

@cskonopka I'm trying to make this as vanilla as possible. Of course, you're doing work in both Pd and Max, hence some cyclone objects...

Nice! The serial.println stuff is great by the way.
