If I properly understand you, you developed the software/firmware for 
the PIC and you convert your data to ASCII before sending them via 
serial port of th PIC.

My idea was to change your PIC software, sending the data in OSC format. 
As long as you have integer data you can easily send the address and the 
value, e.g.
/Sensor1 VALUE
/Sensor2 VALUE

where value is an integer representing the value of a sensor, encoded 
according to the OSC protocol.

This would give you some advantages:
- No conversion to ASCII in PIC
- Structured protocol
- Open, not proprietery format
- No conversions in pd
- Parsing objects in pd available.

If you can't change the PIC software, then forget my idea and look for 
the ascii external marc mentioned.
