Trying to wrangle serial data from an Arduino

Processing Electronics (Arduino, etc.)

Hello,

I threw some code together based on what you were sending…

I adapted my Arduino code to send a random extra line and also got an expected ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.

This tested for it:

if (data > 4)
  println("Corrupt data!");
else
  sLidarData [data++] = serialData;

Often people are just using the “canned” Arduino examples and try to work with that.

I did not provide a complete working solution… just some code to get you started.

Adapt or rewrite your code as required and as errors show up.

Also search through the forum for some insights.
