> Hello. I am not sure what to call the value inside the bufferUntil, but as my title implies I need to use two different characters, rather than just the newline (\n). Is it possible that, inside the serialEvent() function, I have something like ... void serialEvent(Serial port){ x = float(port.readStringUntil("X")); y = float(port.readStringUntil("Y")) } //statements ... where the values from serial look something like: (note: for the sake of using the values for Processing, I appende…
