How to change Multiple variable values through Serial Monitor I am trying ... with minimal success to change/Check and also run voids through the serial monitor .the code i  put i am having probles is that when i am try to send a value larger than 9 the value assigns a diffrent number Ex i set to 200 but arduino sets it as 512.. i got around it deviding the value by 1.6 and got me the new number and only works upto 90 , but i am tryn to see how it should be done correctly...

const uint16_t inputLength = 512;
int ss = 0;
int bHold = 0;

void setup() { 
  Serial.begin(9600);
 }

 void loop() {
  if ( Serial.available() &gt; 0 )
  {
    static char input[inputLength];
    static uint16_t i;
    char c = Serial.read();

    if ( c != '\r' &amp;&amp; c != '\n' &amp;&amp; i &lt; inputLength - 1)
      input[i++] = c;

    else
    {
      input[i] = '\0';
      i = 0;

      uint16_t array[80];
      uint16_t j = 0;

      if ( !strncmp(input, "ss", 2) )
      {        
        char* p = input + 2;
        while ( (p = strchr(p, ' ')) != NULL )
          array[j++] = strtol(p, &amp;p, 10); //&lt; changed from 16

        for ( uint8_t i = 0; i &lt; j; i++ )
        {
          ss = array[i];
          Serial.println(ss);
        }
      }

      if ( !strncmp(input, "bHold", 5) )
      {        
        char* p = input + 5;
        while ( (p = strchr(p, ' ')) != NULL )
          array[j++] = strtol(p, &amp;p, 10);   //&lt; changed from 16

        for ( uint8_t i = 0; i &lt; j; i++ )
        {
         bHold = array[i];
        // bHold=bHold /1.6;            
         Serial.println(bHold);
        }
      }

      if ( !strncmp(input, "Whos There", 10) )
      {
        Serial.print("me");
      }
      if ( !strncmp(input, "hello", 5) )
      {
        Serial.print("hi");
      }
      if ( !strncmp(input, "sa", 2) )
      {
        Serial.print("  ss= ");
        Serial.print(ss);

        Serial.print("  bHold= ");
        Serial.print(bHold);

        Serial.println(" ");
        Serial.println("==============================");
      }
    }
  }
}


Thank you for any tips you can give...

EDIT: I am trying to pass a new value with command on the serial monitor "ss 500"..so that in the arsuino ss = 500. but in this case it makes it equal to 1280.

EDIT2: Chaged the strol to 10...works perfectly ...Thank you TisteAndii!!!!
You are setting the input string's base to 16 instead of 10 in your strtol conversions, which is why you are getting 1280 when you expect 500.
