Mar 5, 2016 at 20:07 comment added Dave X Note that the serial_message[96] is initialized with zeros at the beginning, providing default null terminations for strings up to 96 characters long. What might be interesting is what would happen if one sends strings 96 or more characters long. At 96, the Serial.println() wouldn't stop printing until it hits a null in whatever is after the buffer in memory, and if you sent more than 96 characters, it could write over important RAM and crash.
