Using strings sent over UART

Hi,

I currently have data pulled from the internet using an Adafruit Feather Huzzah ESP8266 board and sent to my Arduino's Serial Terminal via the TX pin on the Arduino. However, I can't seem to find a way to store this data and then print it the a 16x2 Character LCD wired up to the Arduino. Is this possible? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Have a look at the examples in Serial Input Basics - simple reliable ways to receive data.

Thanks for the reply. That project definitely sounds interesting. I have a string printed to the Arduino Serial Terminal every second. My biggest problem is, why can't I just use 'String string = Serial.readString();' and have it stored that way?

Also, whenever I start the Serial Monitor in void Setup 'Serial.begin(9600);' The string send form the esp8266 is no longer displayed. Any ideas? Thanks for all the help!

invest the rest of the evening and try the examples form the link Robin posted ... I guess most of us started there :wink:

Awesome, I will. Thanks for all the help!
