How to get ASCII data in array.

[mackrackit]

My concern is that, data can be any number including the $23 which is '#' character.

So this might lead the routine to hang if data are out of sync sometime.

Why not use a TimeOut? Or can you not afford to miss any data?

Please see the previous than yours post, that shows the timeout is there. But Darrel has explained very well why this might hang here:

That was interesting, I now have it bookmarked.
Just curios, is that the same project?

[Ioannis]

No. That was an easy (now, for me...) project. It just transmitted the number in 3 bytes form. E.g. if number was 128 then the port would transmit ASCII '1', ASCII'2' and ASCII '3' or 49, 50 and 56 as decimal values.
