Serial node: multiple arduinos comports switch
Posted: 01 Jul 2018, 04:47
Hello Ventuzians
I had an issue with a project involving multiple arduinos sending to Ventuz.
I had 3 arduino devices: com 4, com 6, and com 7..
In Ventuz i had three serial nodes and I connected them to the ports and everything was working fine.
The issue is that sometimes my nodes would switch comports automatically. I noticed it happening for reasons like: saving and reopening the scenes, opening the project in a different computer, exporting vpr - vpr would have switched comports. There was no way of me taking the comport input and overriding it with a string so i couldnt control this in any way other than manually switching it in ventuz designer.. the project eneded up working but everytime i would restart the system, i had to open ventuz designer and adjust the comports and export a new vpr.
This was my first project using serial so maybe i was doing something wrong. But is there a way to override the comport input in the serial node? Any other suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks
