Hi I am currently working on a college project which requires me to send 16 bytes to an Arduino board. I was wondering however if the format I am sending the bytes is correct. I am simply packing them into a list and then unpacking them all into the serial object. What way will the Arduino board 'see' these BYTEs? Are these Bytes sent in that specific order to the serial buffer?

This is the code I am working with at the moment:
