Write to Serial port
The project am working on involves reading inputs from the serial port which I did using the System.IO.Ports. Now, I want Unity to write my Y-axis to an arduino chip. (I want to be able to detect hills on my terrain and use the information) How do I go about that, and can I use the same COM port that I'm already using to read?

Did you try searching for 'serial port' on this forum? In short, yes.
Ah, I forgot, my project actually reads and writes. Yes, I use the same port, just use .Write("whatever") for example. The $$anonymous$$SDN articles cover it. Careful though, $$anonymous$$ono 2.6.3, which Unity currently uses, has bugs with the serial port, and not all API's, even properties, are implemented. But simple ReadLine and Write, I can vouch for.
