ASCII

[Elliot Anderson]

	I've managed to solve all my PD glitches and have gone on to modify
Guenter's serial read to work with a sonar sensor.  The code is working
great.  However, not knowing PD well, I need some help with ASCII data.
	I'm getting timing values back from my sonar sensor timer circuit, which
is attached to COM1.  The values make up a float in the format XXX.XX
followed by ASCII 10 and 13.  As an example in decimal I get:

48 46 51 52 10 13 = 0.34

(the timer pic drops all leading zero's but one.)

How do I store the values until I get a 10, then concatenate the values to
create the float?

	Also, I plan on modifying Guenter's serial code further to create a
controller object for a Pioneer LD-V8000 laser disc player.  I will forward
the code to those interested.

Best,
