on Delimeter Received

Run some code when a delimiter character is received.

serial.onDelimiterReceived(Delimiters.NewLine, function () {})

The end of of a line of text, a sequence of command characters, and other messages are often signalled by a special character. This character is called a delimiter. Common delimeter characters are spaces, tabs, commas, and newlines. You can watch for a delimiter and then have your program process data you’ve already received when the delimiter arrives on the serial connection.

Parameters

• delimiter: the delimiter character to watch for. Choose a character from the list on the block. In JavaScript, the character value is in the Delimiters enumeration.
• handler: the code to run when the delimiter is received.

Example

Read a string of characters when the newline delimiter is received.

let myLine = ""
serial.onDelimiterReceived(Delimiters.NewLine, function () {
    myLine = serial.readString()
})
