You grab the char from the oSerialPort into a variable (Byte or oByte)
named, say, ch.

In your case statement in state 1, for example, you do something like
this:

MyState = 1 ' at the top of the code, outside any loop

Do ' the main processing loop

... do whatever

if MySerial.Received then
..ch = MySerial
..Select Case MyState
....Case 1
......if ch = "$" then
........MyState = 2
......end if
....Case 2
......if ch = "G" then
.........MyState = 3
......end if
.. and so on until
....Case <?>
......if ch = '.' then
........value = 0
........MyState = <?+1>
......end if
....Case<?+1>
......ch = ch - '0'
......if (ch >= 0) and (ch <= 9) then
........value = 10 * value + ch
......else ' we are out of digits
........MyState = <?+2>
......end if

from here you look for the next decimal point and do a similar
conversion on a 2d value the then set MyState to 1 - look for the next
message

The whole point of this excercise is to NOT hang waiting on chars.
