Hello, all. I want to make a mod that ties up a real arduino and minecraft redstone in a virtual world.

 

I've been doing research and what most people reccomend is the RXTX library, the most useful page on that is found here.

however this requires you install a .dll file, and this is viewed as very shady no matter where you are.

Is there an alternative? Maybe a way to send raw serial data through the port? I've been studying assembly languages, so that option may not be bad. If possible, i'd like a library that is made for arduino.

thanks in advance, it means a TON.

You can try communicate over the wire. TCP/IP might be too have, but there are other, lighter, options out there (their names just escaped me :().

just you wait! ;)

Arduino doesn't have network capabilities, sadly. I'm expecting users to have the bootloaders  installed, and connected via USB, the same way development was made to work.

I don't think there is a way to get around using a .dll.

But you can, instead of installing it, put in in the same folder as your mod (Or any other folder) and specify the folder using

System.setProperty( "java.library.path", "/path/to/libs" );

Field fieldSysPath = ClassLoader.class.getDeclaredField( "sys_paths" );
fieldSysPath.setAccessible( true );
fieldSysPath.set( null, null );

(Normally you have to specify the path before starting the program as a jvm argument, but this hack can change it afterwards)

 

Also you might get better answers in an arduino forum, than in a minecraft modding forum ;)

I had trouble deciding the forum to post this to myself.  ;)

is there a way that i may pack it in to the .jar file itself?

Thanks, i'm going to read up on this. Any clue how long it would take to unpack a 23Mb .dll file on a standard 7200 rpm hdd? My guess is 5 seconds max. The library itself is less than 23Mb, but i want an upper limit.

That is something to keep in mind.

i am, just going to be using to be supporting the uno, and other, common devices.

like I said, i want this to be in a normal dev enviroment.

    • I tried do download the essential mod to my mod pack but i didnt work. I paly on 1.21 and it should work. I use neoforge for my modding. The weird things is my friend somehow added the mod to his modpack and many others that I somehow can´t. Is there anything i can do? 
    • Thanks, I've now installed a slightly newer version and the server is at least starting up now.
    • i have the same issue.

    • The crash points to moonlight lib - try other builds or make a test without this mod and the mods requiring it
    • Do you have shaders enabled? There is an issue with the mod simpleclouds - remove this mod or disable shaders, if enabled
