Serial Call and Response (handshaking) with ASCII-encoded output
This example demonstrates string-based communication from the Arduino or Genuino board to the computer using a call-and-response (handshaking) method.
The sketch sends an ASCII string on startup and repeats that until it gets a serial response from the computer. Then it sends three sensor values as ASCII-encoded numbers, separated by commas and terminated by a linefeed and carriage return, and waits for another response from the computer.
You can use the Arduino Software (IDE) serial monitor to view the sent data, or it can be read by Processing (see code below), Flash, PD, Max/MSP (see example below), etc. The examples below split the incoming string on the commas and convert the string into numbers again.
Compare this to the Serial call and response example. They are similar, in that both use a handshaking method, but this one encodes the sensor readings as strings, while the other sends them as binary values. While sending as ASCII-encoded strings takes more bytes, it means you can easily send values larger than 255 for each sensor reading. It's also easier to read in a serial terminal program.
Hardware Required
- Arduino or Genuino Board
- 2 analog sensors (potentiometer, photocell, FSR, etc.)
- pushbutton
- 3 10K ohm resistors
- hook-up wires
- breadboard
Software Required
Circuit
Connect analog sensors to analog input pin 0 and 1 with 10K ohm resistors used as voltage dividers. Connect a pushbutton or switch to digital I/O pin 2 with a 10K ohm resistor as a reference to ground.

Serial Call and Response in ASCII
Language: Wiring/Arduino
This program sends an ASCII A (byte of value 65) on startup and repeats that
until it gets some data in. Then it waits for a byte in the serial port, and
sends three ASCII-encoded, comma-separated sensor values, truncated by a
linefeed and carriage return, whenever it gets a byte in.
The circuit:
- potentiometers attached to analog inputs 0 and 1
- pushbutton attached to digital I/O 2
