Entering integers as bytes in serial monitor I am doing some byte manipulation in Arduino, but when I enter an integer into the serial monitor, such as 1, and my program stores it as byte incomingByte, the value stored in incomingByte is 49 and not 1. How do I enter the ASCII equivalent of an integer?
Using the Arduino IDE Serial Monitor, there's not much you can do. But you can use a different serial-port terminal such as RealTerm (for Windows, if that's your thing) which allows for a wide array of serial port nitty-gritty details.
