Babylon.js serial port communication

[PirateJC]

Oh man I LOVE this question. I’m a huge fan of connecting IOT devices and microcontrollers to Babylon.

Unfortunately I only have experience messing around with the wireless methods of communication.

That said I know that we’ve had a few community members who have had success with wired communication.

@ilhamachmada showed off a pretty awesome project in this vein here:

Controlling Virtual Object and Physical Object using BabylonJS and Arduino

Hi everyone, I want to demonstrate my simple work using BabylonJS. Here, I use Arduino to move the robot arm as a physical object and BabylonJS to visualize the robot arm in the real world (although the physical and virtual models are not the same haha). I can control the movements of the virtual robot arm using input from the potentiometer on Arduino. On the other hand, I can also grind the physical robot arm using input from the slider in the scene. [Virtual Engineering - Digital twi…

Also if I remember correctly, I think @bigrig showed off a cool project with a wired boxing glove controlling a virtual one at one point.
