sending a byte

[Gnomes 0]

Hi again, I'm not sure if it's possible to do or not with the setup I'm using. Using Serial I/O protocol is it possible for me to send an 8-bit byte using a write bytes command or am I only able to send ascii characters with this protocol. I want to use it as sort of a status byte which will tell me if whatever I have attached to my inputs are being used or not. Thanks for any help!

An ASCII character is an 8 bit byte, so you are all set.
