*
*   Desc:         A Protocoll to communicate through the Serial Interface. All data will be
*                 converted to Ascii-Code. This means an int number (2 bytes) now needs up to
*                 6 bytes and must be coded and decoded. On the other hand this protocol is very
*                 reliable even if you reset the board during communication.
*
*   Protocoll:    bits 0 to 8: command
*                 bits 8 to ...: message
*                 last bits: CR, LF or CR LF or LF CR
*
*   Methodes:     SerialProtocolLibrary (PApplet parent, String comPort)
*                   Constructor
*                   parent = use this when calling
*                   comPort = COM Port to connect to ("" means last comPort in list will be selected)
*                 SerialProtocolLibrary (PApplet parent, int iPort) {
*                   Constructor
*                   parent = use this when calling
*                   iPort = ID from COM Port to connect to (-1 means last comPort in list will be selected)
*                 void Serial_setID (char ID)
*                   If this function is called, the specified ID will be sent wenn calling Serial_sendMessage
*                   ID: a value from 0 to 254
*                   Note: ID = 0 means you send and receive commands to/from all nodes
*                   Note: NEVER USE 10 or 13 as NODE_ID!
*                 void send (char cmd, String message)
*                   Send an long number through serial.
*                   cmd = a char to seperate different commands. Don't use char with ascii 10 and 13
*                   message = long number to send (-2147483648 to 2147483647)
*                 void send (char cmd, int message)
*                   Send an int number through serial.
*                   cmd = a char to seperate different commands. Don't use char with ascii 10 and 13
*                   message = int number to send (-32768 to 32767)
*                 void sendToAllNodes (char cmd, String message)
*                   Sends a String to all nodes (Serial_setID() must be called in setup())
*                 void sendToAllNodes (char cmd, int message)
*                   Sends an int to all nodes (Serial_setID() must be called in setup())
*                 void sendToNode (int NodeID, char cmd, String message)
*                   Sends a String to specified Node (Serial_setID() must be called in setup())
*                   Note: you can use function send(..) if your sending messages to node ID specified in Serial_setID()
*                   Note: NEVER USE 10 or 13 as NODE_ID!
*                 void sendToNode (int NodeID, char cmd, int message)

*                 int parseInteger (String val)
*                   Parse string value to int. (-2147483648 to 2147483647)

*   Not implemented:
*      - Sending float values
*      - unsigned values
