Hello! I am using this to mark events in my unreal game and analyse the brainwaves at those specific moments using EEG. Iam not exactly sure how to link all 3 together and how to mark those specific events, any idea? Thanks a lot

@yosefmawasi1
iā€™m a little late to that aswell. can you elaborate on your fix? did you do anything else or named it somehow?

edit:
nevermindā€¦ i got it
for those wondering how this works:

you need to install studio code, if you havent already.

In UE go to tools ā†’ new c++ class ā†’ none ā†’ create class
wait for studio code to compile ā†’ done

btw: i have the plugin in the projects plugin folder

no need to rename or do any black magic shenanigans

this article helped me understand it somewhat

If anyone needs to update the Arduino plugin for Unreal Engine 5.5, I have made a video showing how to recompile and install the SerialCOM plugin.

Hope it is useful.

Hey guys! first iā€™m really gratefull with eveeryone who got to contribute in the plugin, iā€™m doing my thesis project and currently using SerialCOM for UE 5.6! I know iā€™m a bit late to the convo, but iā€™m trying to find forums, topics, qa about SerialCOM and itā€™s getting quite hard, I also tried to access Ramiroā€™s lab discord but I canā€™t.

I have some problem regarding the .exe Shipped version of my project, where unless I have Arduino IDE connected, the game wonā€™t read my port; thing is, I canā€™t find an active community to ask about it, nor realiable sources to get info about it :c :cactus:.

If you are trying to run your .exe on a PC that has not been setup for Arduino Development it may be that Windows 11 doesnā€™t have Serial Ports enabled. These are now considered ā€˜Legacy Hardwareā€™ but can be enabled using ā€˜Add legacy hardwareā€™ in Device Manager. This may be why your game canā€™t see the port.
