Sending strings instead of characters about ardity

Hi!

You are welcome :). It is good to hear this project is being useful out there.

This library can send any string over to the Arduino, just as the one you mentioned.
The problem you describe sounds like you are using the Serial.read() function in your Arduino code, which only reads the first byte sent (if you call it a second time you would get the second character sent).
If you want to read a full string, check the function Serial.readString(), that will read the whole string sent. Then you can use the function toCharArray() to copy it to a normal C-like string and break it by commas using strtok().

Thank you! I appreciate the assistance!

You are welcome!

Please note I modified a bit my answer, do not use c_str() with strtok() because strtok modifies the first argument (i.e. the string returned by c_str), which is something the Arduino docs tell us not to do.

Better use toCharArray() that copies the string to a different char array that you can modify with strtok as you want.
