Serial

The Serial protocol block allows a Serial command to be created directly from within a process and sent out of an output method or patch defined under Workspace Settings.

Upon receiving an input, the Serial block will send the value as defined within it. (If using variables, this will send a snapshot of the values when the input is triggered).

When the command is sent, the Triggered output node is activated. Once confirmation is made, the Received node is activated.

• Serial Patch - Defined within Workspace Settings.
• Message - Create a message or use a variable. Note that this block outputs in ASCII format only.

To send multiple commands in quick succession with precise timing, creating an Action is a better option compared to triggering multiple protocol blocks with Delay timers.
