Hi All
I am trying to create a simple game of moving a ball on the screen and collecting coins on the way. I want to control the movement of my player, i.e the ball using buttons on the Arduino board, similar to keys on the keyboard. Both my arduino and unity code are not showing any errors but when I try and run my game using the buttons on the arduino nothing happens. I am using the Serial Port Class to connect Unity and Arduino.
Can you please take a look and give some insight. Thanks!
My Arduino code:
const int buttonPin01 = 6;
const int buttonPin02 = 7;
const int buttonPin03 = 8;
const int buttonPin04 = 9;
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(buttonPin01, INPUT);
pinMode(buttonPin02, INPUT);
pinMode(buttonPin03, INPUT);
pinMode(buttonPin04, INPUT);
digitalWrite(buttonPin01, HIGH);
digitalWrite(buttonPin02, HIGH);
digitalWrite(buttonPin03, HIGH);
digitalWrite(buttonPin04, HIGH);
}
void loop()
{
if(digitalRead(buttonPin01) == LOW)
{
Serial.write(1);
Serial.flush();
delay(20);
}
if(digitalRead(buttonPin02) == LOW)
{
Serial.write(2);
Serial.flush();
delay(20);
}
if(digitalRead(buttonPin03) == LOW)
{
Serial.write(3);
Serial.flush();
delay(20);
}
if(digitalRead(buttonPin04) == LOW)
{
Serial.write(4);
Serial.flush();
delay(20);
}
}
My Unity Code:
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using System.IO.Ports;
public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour {
public float speed;
SerialPort sp = new SerialPort("COM3", 9600);
public GUIText countText;
public GUIText winText;
private int count;
void Start()
{
sp.Open();
sp.ReadTimeout = 1;
count = 0;
SetCountText();
winText.text = "";
}
void Update()
{
if(sp.IsOpen)
{
try
{
MoveObject(sp.ReadByte());
print(sp.ReadByte());
}
catch (System.Exception)
{
}
}
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Escape))
{
Application.Quit();
}
}
void MoveObject(int Direction)
{
if(Direction == 1)
{
rigidbody.AddForce(Vector3.left * speed * Time.deltaTime);
}
if(Direction == 2)
{
rigidbody.AddForce(Vector3.right * speed * Time.deltaTime);
}
}
if(Direction == 3)
{
rigidbody.AddForce(Vector3.top * speed * Time.deltaTime);
}
if(Direction == 4)
{
rigidbody.AddForce(Vector3.bottom * speed * Time.deltaTime);
}
void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
if(other.gameObject.tag == "PickUp")
{
other.gameObject.SetActive(false);
count = count + 1;
SetCountText();
}
}
void SetCountText()
{
countText.text = "Count: " + count.ToString();
if(count >= 12)
{
winText.text = "YOU WIN!";
}
}
}
