Hello @Simon44,

Here is a topic that may be of interest to you:  
_[Need assistance reading sequential inputs from arduino serial](https://discourse.processing.org/t/need-assistance-reading-sequential-inputs-from-arduino-serial/20368)_

You will find that there are many topics on this.

Serial communication can be a challenge at first but once you master it the _world is your oyster_… at least your code will be.

`:)`
