Using Serial.parseInt() with Arduino

This video tutorial explains how to use the parse int function from the Arduino serial library to convert character inputs into integers. It covers the basics of serial communication, compares serial read with parse int, and explores advanced features like set timeout and look ahead mode. The tutorial also discusses how parse int handles non-numeric values and optional parameters for ignoring specific characters.
