Hi
Thanks for the help, I really appreciate the well commented code as I really have no idea whats going on without it.
I tried your code and perhaps I was having data issues because Of something I did or because of a different sensor but I was getting quite a few out of sync readings that would throw a spanner in the works for using the data later.
I have had really good data coming from the code attached here, hopefully between the two options someone may get some benefit out of these options.

// RX, TX, true sets the inverter
 
void setup()  
{
  // Open serial communications and wait for port to open:
  Serial.begin(9600);
 
  // set the data rate for the SoftwareSerial port
  mySerial.begin(9600);
  delay(50);
}
 
void loop() {
  int index = 0;
  boolean startreading = false;
  char mm[6];
  mySerial.flush();
  while(index &lt; 4){
    if(mySerial.available()){
      byte incoming = mySerial.read();    
      if(incoming == 'R') {
        startreading = true; 
      } else if(startreading) {
        mm[index++] = incoming;
      }
    }
  }
  
  Serial.print("mm: ");
  Serial.print(mm);
  Serial.print(" ");
  Serial.println();
  //delay(500);
}

// RX, TX, true sets the inverter

void setup()

{

// Open serial communications and wait for port to open:

Serial.begin(9600);

// set the data rate for the SoftwareSerial port

mySerial.begin(9600);

delay(50);

}

void loop() {

int index = 0;

boolean startreading = false;

char mm[6];

mySerial.flush();

while(index < 4){

if(mySerial.available()){

byte incoming = mySerial.read();

if(incoming == 'R') {

startreading = true;

} else if(startreading) {

mm[index++] = incoming;

}

Serial.print("mm: ");

Serial.print(mm);

Serial.print(" ");

Serial.println();

//delay(500);

}
