Serial.read returns the first (oldest) character in the buffer and removes that byte of data from the buffer. So when all the bytes of data are read and no new serial data have arrived, the buffer is empty and Serial.available will return 0. If we send more than one character over serial with this code, the output will look like this. The objective of this post is to explain how to establish a Serial connection between a Python program and an Arduino program running on the ESP8266 and on the ESP32. The tests on the ESP32 were performed using a DFRobot’s ESP-WROOM-32 device integrated in a ESP32 FireBeetle board. Introduction The objective of this post is to explain how to. Apart from that, I'm not sure about how well it works to send a bunch of bytes with serial. I've only used it to send something like 4, with values from sensors and pots via Arduino. Tom Igoe (Physical Computing) has good examples on how to send bytes, but I don't remember if that was a whole lot of bytes or not. I'm using two Arduinos to sent plain text strings to each other using newsoftserial and an RF transceiver. Each string is perhaps 20-30 characters in length. How do I convert Serial.read into a.

I am using a Arduino Uno. I am experiencing weird behavior with Serial.readbytes(); The arduino is powered and communicating via USB on COM4, I am running eclipse on 64bit win7.
My currently Arduino code looks like this, the delays are so I can start and stop my java service and look at the serial window in the Arduino IDE, in is a char array; Code:
Here is the relevant code for my java side. I modified it from, http://rxtx.qbang.org/wiki/index.php/Two_way_communcation_with_the_serial_port Code:
}
When I run it my arduino just prints out a blank line. If I prep the arduino with 'hiya' using the Serial window first, the when the java is executed it will return back to a blank line. Since the char array is just over-written each time I sent 'H567rn' and then in the Serial window typed sent 'hiya' where the extra newline was still being executed so I know characters are being stored somehow. Another test was to change the last Serial.prinln() to 'Serial.println(in[0], DEC)'. Using the Serial Window results happen as expected, but from java it just prints out '0' Serial communication works wonderful coming from the arduino talking to the java, just not from java to the arduino. Any insight would be wonderful!
/Edit, per suggestion I tried reading Serial.available() instead of a fixed max of 10, No changes were experienced.
