Hi vlappe,

You have to write the software to receive one byte by one byte at a time.
This will allow you to receive more characters.
In order to write a generic code for receiving many char,
it is very likely that you have to use a data array or pointer
to help you implement the codes.

You can already receive a byte, which is very good already.
You should be able proceed further from here.
