Quality of Life -> "Send Data only when changed" - Functionality for Serial #20

Closed Seahawk240 closed 3 years ago

Reintroduce of a "Send Data only when changed" like Functionality of an earlier version, for the serial Port Communication. Thanks to @Discman777 for this idea!

  1. I also wonder if it makes sense to filter the serial data packets coming out (i.e. from FS to Arduino)? So that if the subsequent sample of the variable is unchanged, don’t output it to the serial port. The trick is that it’s still necessary to output unchanged data packets at some less-frequent intervals; otherwise, static data may never be seen. The PC has plenty of computing power to do the data testing and floating point rounding etc. This could help out the weaker Arduino.

I think it is a very good idea too.

I’ve just submitted an alternative to this. :)
