Hi list,
apologizes, this looks like a FAQ, but I can't find anything in the archives (wrong keywords ?) for this.
I just want to turn the bytes from comport output into a list.
From a serial monitor, my program outputs: "1.23 456 789\n"
I get it correctly into pd and it seems to work. But it looks ugly and I feel it could be better done.
I don't see how it could be improved much. Why is it ugly?
The only smallish improvement I see is the way you convert a stream into lists. The recursive [list prepend] approach gets more and more inefficient the longer the list gets. You could use a message box instead and add your bytes with [add2 $1(. And on termination (sel 10) send a 'bang, set' to output the finished list and empty the message box.
It works better with your solution (the terminator is never in the wrong place) and is easier to read.
Attached.
Thanks a lot.
