[PD] comport question....

[Rory Walsh]

It's been a while since I've posted, I hope everyone is keeping well!
I'm trying to retrieve data from a heart rate monitor with Pd using
the comport object. Sending a 'G1' followed by a carriage return to
the HRM device using a terminal emulator returns something like 32 10
61, where 61 is the current heart rate and 10 is the time passed since
I first queried the heart rate. If I try to print this info in Pd ala:

|comport|
|
|sprintf %c|
|
|print|

I get something like this:

3
2
1
0
6
1

Obviously this isn't much use to me. The data that is passed from the
serial device is an 8 bit value but I've no idea how to parse it
correctly. If I don't use sprintf I get the following print out:

print: 51
print: 32
print: 49
print: 48
print: 50
print: 32
print: 48
print: 32
print: 13

Any ideas or suggestions on how to parse the data being returned from
the device?

Rory.
