Hi Al,
If you check out the chuck examples folder that came in the chuck download or in the "Open Example" menu item, there should be a "serial" subcategory with some basic examples of communicating with serial devices (e.g. Arduino) in there.
What I would recommend is sending your 5 analog values as a space separated series of ASCII numbers, ending with a newline, and repeating this at whatever your desired refresh rate is. In ChucK, you can use onLine()/getLine() (as in the
lines.ck example) to get each line of data, which includes all 5 current sensor values. There is also a (minimally documented) RegEx class you can use to pull out the values individually and then convert them to integers.
Ive also attached another ChucK example I have that does something very similar to this, except it reads only 3 sensor values and uses commas to separate values.
Thats a lot of stuff, so let us know if you have any more questions.
