prossel / unityserialport Goto Github PK

It took me a while to trace this down, but I was getting incorrect results for some of transmitted values on a mac, namely nothing higher than 0x3F would come through (while the results on windows were correct), I found a list of exceptions in serial.cs, Please consider changing (this is from line 228)

        case RuntimePlatform.WindowsEditor:
	case RuntimePlatform.WindowsPlayer:
	case RuntimePlatform.WindowsWebPlayer:

To following, it fixes the issue on OSX

        case RuntimePlatform.WindowsEditor:
	case RuntimePlatform.WindowsPlayer:
	case RuntimePlatform.WindowsWebPlayer:
	case RuntimePlatform.OSXEditor:
	case RuntimePlatform.OSXPlayer:

The script does not work under Windows.

I know.

I didn't need to support Windows when I wrote this script. So I didn't bother supporting it.
If you need it and know how to fix it, just do and make a pull request. Otherwise ask in comments and I'll try to find some time if there is enough requests. Or hire me, that could definitely speed up things.

The speed is hard coded to 9600. One should be able to configure a different speed.

Guessing the correct serial port from the list returned by the OS is not always exact.
A way to improve could be to have a configurable parameter to specify a list of preferred names or partial strings to be found in names.

Hi there -

I updated to the new version of Unity and got all kinds of errors related to this package.

I'm not able to troubleshoot at the moment because I'm just pushing for a videogame debut...but wanted to let you know that it works on Unity 5.6.1f so that's what I'm using now.

I'm using Mac OS

Thanks!

why iam cannot open port? unity give me error IOException: Access is denied.
can anyobe help me? :)

Some users get an error on Windows when trying to open the known to be correct serial port.
Possibly when the serial port number is greater than 9.
A solution might be to add the string "\\\\.\\" before the port name.
The Serial.GetPortName() function can be modified to add this string around line 522:

if (portNames.Length > 0)
    return "\\\\.\\" + portNames [portNames.Length - 1];

Please comment (either success of fail) if you try this patch. Does it work in all situation ?
