SerialEvent

SerialEvent

Demonstrates use of the SerialEvent() function. SerialEvent() is called after a loop(), if there is serial data in the buffer.

  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.
