Is it possible to output from unreal engine to Arduino?
I need the camera position, and rotation to be output for a real rigged kamera on a rail.

@VertSabre First, you’re using LineEndToString, which only gives you the string form of the selected line end. Second, since you’re using delay and the stream of data is continuous, you end up accumulating a lot of outdated data. Instead of delaying, use local booleans or something to check if you should or not flick the light in that frame. Also, after each read, flush Arduino, so you remove the accumulated data.

To read the number from Arduino, it’ll depend wether you’re sending it as text or actual number (bytes, int etc). So let’s see your Arduino code.

@oppne Yes, it is. Use the Write nodes (Write a Float etc).

Any help would be appreciated…

Please, stop using this thread for UE4Duino questions.
I’m maintaining the plugin and trying to help its users in this thread.

I created Plugins folder inside Content folder of my project and dragged and dropped the UE4Duino foler, but it gave me a bunch of errors like,
Unknown extension ‘response’, Unknown extension ‘exp’ etc.
Same happened when I created plugins folder inside project folder. What am I doing wrong? Please help. Thanks.

Hello

I was wondering if this specific Plugin (not the “newer” Version) is available for UE4.17 and up as well?
I’m trying to include the Data in a newer Version of Unreal but it won’t work without the “Read Serial” Node.
Does anyone have a tip how I could work around this and get the Data in a Widget Blueprint for VR?

Thanks very much for your help!

Hi, are you going to release a version for UE5 too?
