Oh yeah, the 4.9 win 10 version works in 4.11

@dabulina
Can you provide the link for that?

@sidhants On the first page: ://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5YmlRw-1rCrM0dfRXRzVG13dDg/view

Yes, this is the one witch works very well for me :))

dabulina · May 7, 2016, 4:38am

Is it possible, that plugin will be available for mac os?

anonymous_user_7ddb46db1 · May 10, 2016, 11:14am

I have tried all versions of a plug-in. Not one doesn’t work at 4.11

dabulina · May 10, 2016, 12:06pm

on win 10 this version ://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5Y…RzVG13dDg/view works on 4.11 for me.
Create new document, c++ project, lunch it. close it. Next to project create folder Plugins, copy plugin in to this folder. Lunch project and editor will compile new plugin.

Has anyone tried controlling a 120V AC Fan with an Arduino before? If you would would you be willing to share your circuit and sketch?

Gabriel_Lima · May 11, 2016, 1:30pm

Can you specify the fan? i can make a sketch for the circuit for you.

Or just look for Relay Shields but take care with the inrush current, i almost burned my arduino last year because of it.

I suppose just your run of the mill box fan. Say this one: http://www.target.com/p/holmes-box-fan-20-black-hbf2001d-b/-/A-15024768 . I’m not all that familiar with PWM, but from what I understand it is what you need to use to control something like this.

Gabriel_Lima · May 11, 2016, 6:40pm

Do you wanna turn it on and off or control the speed?

Gabriel_Lima · May 11, 2016, 7:08pm

You gave me a really good idea, you dont really need pwm if it is just turn on and off, you can use this, and change the light to whatever you want since the current required does not exceed the maximum relay current(10Amps on the instructable)

I’d like to be able to control the RPMs as a function of the maximum speed of my ATV simulator.

Gabriel_Lima · May 11, 2016, 7:22pm

That’s my idea but instead of a ATV it’s a plane simulator(to feel the propeller blowing at your face) i’m going to school now, when i get back i’ll make a sketch of the circuit and share with you

AC motors’ speed is controlled by placing different value capacitors in series with the winding, what you can do is setup few relays and transistors and use them to switch in different capacitors to vary the speed.

Hello

Thank you for this great contribution,

I have not been able to use this plugin, I’m using UE4.11

I can know a date when you release the version for UE4.11 ?

We would all be very grateful

Hi I am bringing in a heart rate reading from a polar heart monitor via arduino into unreal.
I would like to establish an average heart-rate over a 60 second duration.
I am using a baud rate of 9600 with 1000ms between readings.
Is there anyway to have a constant ‘average heart rate per minute’ being generated ?

The arduino code I am using is:

#define HR_PIN 7
long hr = 0;
long last_hr_ts = 0;
long last_report_ts = 0;
int report_delay = 1000; //Must be > 1000 miliseconds

long samples[8] = {0}; //size was chosen since it’s optimized in division and modulus
byte last_sample = 0;
long joeys_avg = 0;
long joeys_hr_accumulation = 0;
void setup()
{
pinMode(HR_PIN, INPUT);
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop()
{
long current_time = millis();
if (digitalRead(HR_PIN) == HIGH) {
//First sample will be garbage, since last_hr_ts = 0
//dt < 10 means the same sample. Otherwise it means hr of 6000bpm…
//That’s fast even for a colibri
if (current_time - last_hr_ts > 10) {
byte next_sample = ((last_sample + 1) % 8);
samples[next_sample] = current_time - last_hr_ts;
last_sample = next_sample;
}
last_hr_ts = current_time;
}

if (current_time - last_report_ts > report_delay) {
if (current_time - last_hr_ts < report_delay) {
{
long sum_samples = 0;
byte i;
for (i = 1; i < 9; ++i) {
sum_samples += samples((last_sample + i) % 8)]; //optimizes to (last_sample + 1)&7
}
sum_samples /= 8; //optimizes to sum_samples >>= 3
/*To be accurate (2 digits), we multiply the sample by 100, and finally divide result */
//hr = ((100000/(sum_samples))*60)/100;
hr = (6000000/(sum_samples))/100;
Serial.println(hr);
}
} else {
Serial.println(“Out of range”);
}
last_report_ts = current_time;
}
}

Link appears to be down - any of a reupload?

edit: here is the link ://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5YmlRw-1rCrM0dfRXRzVG13dDg/view

rewrote the plugin to work when packaged(it’s a project atm) the serial read works haven’t tested the serial write.You have to set up your gameinstance to my custom one,if anyone wants to make it a plugin again(shouldn’t be hard).
