@ -6,9 +6,17 @@ Write an array of numbers to the [serial](/device/serial) port.
serial.writeNumbers([0, 1, 2]);
```
Instead of writing a single number at a time using [write number](/reference/serial/write-number), you can write multiple numbers to the serial port at once. They are written as _Comma Separated Values (CSV)_.
You can write the numbers `0` through `5` together and they will appear as one line of serial output:
``0,1,2,3,4,5``
This makes a line of CSV data where the commas between the numbers are the separators for each value.
## Parameters
* `values` is the array of [number](/types/number) to write to the serial port
* `values`: the array of [numbers](/types/number) to write to the serial port
