Parsing char array to integer, atoi() returns squares
up vote

I'm using an android app to send values to control servos.
Code:
char inputData[4];
char buffer[3];
void loop()
if(Serial.available() > 3)
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
inputData[i] = Serial.read();
char buffer[4];
buffer[0] = inputData[1];
buffer[1] = inputData[2];
buffer[2] = inputData[3];
buffer[3] = '';
int angle = atoi(buffer);
Serial.write(angle);
Issue: I'm getting the values + A-F letters to address each servo - A10, A180, B30 etc. Now the trouble is turning this to an actual integer. As you can see I've declared a character array to store the integers in and as suggested in a post on the arduino forum, I added a at the end of the array. Currently, the Atoi returns random characters, mostly squares and some random numbers. I've tried even assigning them to a string and then .toInt() but same issue there, mostly squares.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Use print or println to see the number as text. write sends it as byte and Serial Monitor shows a symbol with that ASCII code.

I don't really need to print it though. I want to use it as a value. Say I atoi() it, would it make it an integer even though it prints random characters ?

you want to see the value in Serial Monitor as text, not as a symbol with this value as ascii code

Yes but is the variable a proper integer before printing ?

why not? Serial.print(int) wouldn't lie
