Connect Blender to External Devices via Simple UART.
Add-on by Rurouni-Usman
About What's New Reviews Version History
Real-time communication between Blender and Arduino using multiple sensors. Demonstration of blendixserial using an LM35 sensor: Arduino sends temperature data via serial, and Blender animates a 3D gauge based on the readings. VIM (Interactive Viewport Mode) allows you to click and drag 3D objects in the 3D viewport using mouse cursor interaction to simulate real-world controls. It enables actions like rotating knobs, pressing buttons, and moving joysticks with  visual feedback ESP8266 web interface to control 3D objects in Blender using blendixserial. Works across desktop, tablets, and mobile devices.

blendixserial is an addon that enables real-time serial communication between Blender and external devices or applications through COM ports. Instead of working in isolation, your 3D scene can exchange structured data with microcontrollers, embedded systems, or custom software. You can send and receive data in real time, control 3D objects, and display text from a connected device directly inside Blender. The addon allows you to set up a serial connection, adjust port settings, and switch between different modes depending on your project requirements. The addon supports both a simple CSV format and a custom binary protocol, making it flexible enough for a wide range of technical and creative applications.
