[PD] Fwd: Re: sending lists via [comport]

[Christof Ressi]

Hi,

> And, how can I tell [pd] when a new data set of e.g. six values begins?
Short answer: you need a protocol. Someone already mentioned SLIP. For 
Pd there is an external called [mrpeach/slipenc] resp. [mrpeach/slipdec] 
and for Arduino there are libraries like 
https://github.com/bakercp/PacketSerial or https://github.com/CNMAT/OSC 
(see SLIPEncodedSerial.h).

Please read the following to understand the problem which SLIP and 
similar protocols are trying to solve: 
https://github.com/bakercp/PacketSerial/blob/master/docs/BACKGROUND.md

It doesn't have to be SLIP, though. You can use any encoding/protocol 
you like as long as both sides agree :-) I've even (ab)used MIDI because 
it is quite compact and rather easy to parse.
