Baby steps while I bonk my head against the Maya API:

Code follows:

The Arduino code and board setup are the same as in yesterday’s post. The Python is only very slightly different, but in a very satisfying way.

Maya Python code:

### simple button read 2
sys.path.append( "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Python\Python25\Lib\site-packages\win32")
sys.path.append( "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Python\Python25\Lib\site-packages\win32\lib")
import time, sys, serial, win32file, win32con
import maya.cmds as cmds

ser = serial.Serial(
  port='COM3',
  baudrate=9600,
  parity=serial.PARITY_NONE,
  stopbits=serial.STOPBITS_ONE,
  bytesize=serial.EIGHTBITS
)

start=timerX()
totalTime = timerX(startTime=start)

mySphere = sphere()[0]

while totalTime < 5:
  myInput = ser.read()
  print myInput
  myScale = int(myInput)+1
  mySphere.scale.set(myScale, myScale, myScale)
  totalTime = timerX(startTime=start)
  refresh()

ser.close()
delete(mySphere)
