I have been trying to get this to work for some time, not having any success. I have my Arduino outputting a stream of 1’s and 0’s depending on a button state. Using the serial monitor I can see that everything is working properly and that the output is clean and as expected. The issue I am having is getting that data into the blueprint. I want to use the input ‘1’ to change the flicker speed of a light to .2 and I want ‘0’ to reset it to the flicker speed of 1.0. I am not sure exactly how to do this within the Blueprint editor however.
This was an educated guess on how it might work, but I really don’t know. If “Selection” on the ‘Switch on Int’ node is set to 0 or to 1 the result is as expected however apparently I am either not getting the data into the blueprint, I am not handling it properly, or both. One thing to note is this is a constant stream of data, should I base it off of the Event Tick instead? Any thoughts?
Edit: One other note, is that the serial port IS indeed opening, and the flow goes all the way to the end through the ‘0’ option. This is regardless of value however, and only happens once. I need the value to be read properly and for it to repeatedly check the value and update it.
