How to read Negative number with serial.read
You could do something like this:

static int setpoint;      // the partially read setpoint
static bool isNegative;   // whether it should be negative
void applySetpoint(int);  // apply the setpoint when fully read

char tmpChar = Serial.read();
if (isDigit(tmpChar)) {
    setpoint =  (setpoint  * 10 ) + tmpChar - '0';
} else if (tmpChar == '-') {  // minus sign
    isNegative = true;
} else if (tmpChar == '\r') {  // line terminator
    if (isNegative) {
        setpoint = -setpoint;
        isNegative = false;  // reset for next read
    }
    applySetpoint(setpoint);
}


Note that this is not very robust: it will happily interpret "3-2" as
meaning "-32". Note also that I assumed your terminator to be '\r', you
may be using another one.
