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.
Fixed a subprocess startup issue by ensuring Blender’s Python arguments are properly forwarded, preventing crashes caused by incompatible Python environments.
Improved the debugging system by turning it into a clear logging feature that shows addon and device activity in Blender’s console for easier troubleshooting.
