How to add input from arduino to a blueprint

I am working on a project where a ball speed is controlled by a potentiometer. The data is serially brought in by an arduino. How should i transfer this data to ue4 in order for this to work?

Just subscribing to this because im also interested on connecting arduino with UE4, in my case i would be using buttons :slight_smile:

Use the UE4Duino Plugin.

what are your version of Unreal Engine? my version is 4.15.0 and the UE4Duino plugin no working! u.u someone help me ! … i need a plugin for version 4.15.0 .

I have the version 4.15.0 and i’m trying to use a lot of sensor with my arduino, but that plug-in isn’t for the version 4.15, is there an update anywhere ??

I have a huge game already code in the version 4.15, and i can’t open it with the version 4.10 of Unreal Engin, so i can’t use the plug-in…

Is there another way to use my arduino and communicate with Unreal Engine.

Have you looked at the native UE4 plugin called MIDI Control support (beta)?

It can be used to send midi signals to Unreal and might be you solution.

Hi seichi, you can use the bottons with the arduino in UE4? you did?

Hey Capitan! No, i never got a solution for it, ended up using Xbox controllers!

I would suggest using arduino as an i2c as serial communication. then events that happen to the actual arduino can be interfaced as a controller I/O etc. you can map your arduino outputs to keyboard inputs if you like. Im not sure if there is a way to use UE4 to do something with arduino though. Theres a good tutorial on making a number keypad.

ok hehe thanks :smiley:

Hi alakam328, you can use this plugin for the version 4.10 :
UE4Duino - Arduino to UE4 plugin Release! - Programming & Scripting - Epic Developer Community Forums!

Then you have to copy the folder “UE4Duino” in your folder protect with the name “Plugin” :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks, i’ms now able to play with arduino, the only things now is that i’m trying to use Button with my ardunio and I would like to spawn object with it… but i don’t know how to transfer the input arduino to Unreal. I will test things.
