Split Text To Chars
File:TArduinoSplitTextToChars.png
Summary
Use this component to split an input string into individual characters across multiple output pins.
Description
This component takes an input text string and distributes each character to its own output pin, from **Pin (0)** upward. The number of active output pins is configurable via the **Output Pins** property (default is 8), allowing you to control how many characters are emitted. If the input string is shorter than the configured number of output pins, the extra pins remain inactive (no output). If the string is longer, characters beyond the last pin are ignored.
This is perfect for situations where you need to extract specific characters from a string—like the first few letters—or feed individual characters into downstream processing paths.
