[Free][Windows only] UE4Duino 2 - Arduino (COM port) communication

Ok Ok. I had a hard time getting this plugin to work in a final build. But I did it and now I want to help.

Here is MY step by step succes formula:

Have the right visiual studio installed!

  1. Download the plugin (for your Ue4 version).
  2. Make a plugins folder inside your project.
  3. Place the plugin inside the plugins folder of your project.
  4. Start your project.
  5. Activate your plugin in the edit/plugins window.
  6. restart UE4
  7. Make something usefull with the plugin as shown in previous posts. Dont forget to close the port on endgame!!
  8. Go to edit/plugins ue4duino, You should see a package button.
  9. Package the plugin inside your ENGINE/plugins folder (this is somehow needed to get the versions matching (took me ages to get this right)).
  10. I repeat!! The plugin is now in your engine folder. The folder were your engine is installed (not your project folder).
  11. Delete the plugin inside your projects folder. Else you get same key stuff errors when building.
  12. Start Ue4, everything should work fine now with the plugin inside your engine folder.
  13. Package,Cook, build, compile or use pak files (no clue what all these words mean)
  14. Forget 13. just Package for win 64 developemen dont use pak files (you want to check something)
  15. You endup with a WindowsNoEditor/Engine/Plugins/Ue4Duino/UE4Duino.Uplgin file

Double click “projectname”/Saved/StagedBuids/WindowsNoEditor/“Your project-shortcut”

Now everything should work!

I am not a coder so maybe I talk out of my …

Please correct me when wrong!

Hope it helps someone.
