Simple Read
Read data from the serial port and turn ON the onboard LED if the character received is an 'a' For the Wiring boards v1 the on-board LED is on pin 48, on Wiring S the on-board LED is on pin 15.
int data; // to read the charvoidsetup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(WLED, OUTPUT);
}
voidloop()
{
if (Serial.available()) // if data available
{
data = Serial.read(); // read dataif (data == 'a') // if value read is character 'a'
{
digitalWrite(WLED, HIGH); // turn ON the onboard LED
}
else
{
digitalWrite(WLED, LOW); // if not turn it OFF
}
}
delay(100); // wait 100ms for next read
