Class portScanner

Simple Unity helper that scans available serial ports and allows selecting one from a UI dropdown to force the COM port used by the stimulation script. Attach this to a separate GameObject and wire the selectPort() method to a UI event (e.g., button click) to apply the chosen port.

Behaviour

MonoBehaviour

portScanner

Namespace: WSS.Unity

Assembly: UnitySubmodule.Docs.dll

Syntax

public class portScanner : MonoBehaviour

Remarks

Usage:

• Place this script on a separate GameObject (not a child of the stimulation object).
• Assign portScanner.stim and portScanner.serialList in the inspector.
• Ensure the stimulation script has forcePort enabled so the dropdown selection is used.

Enabling this component temporarily disables portScanner.stim while scanning ports so the stimulation wrapper does not hold an outdated connection open during selection.

Methods

selectPort()

Applies the selected COM port to the stimulation script and re-enables it.

Declaration

public void selectPort()

Remarks

If the dropdown contains only the empty placeholder, this method leaves the stimulation component disabled and does not change its configured port.
