OSD displaying serial port read?

Post by nym »

hey, i'd like to use the On Screen Display to show the last update from my serial port (arduino). arduino is sending constantly changing temperature and humidity messages to eventghost.

typically i drag and drop actions from the event log to trigger macros, but when i do this for received serial messages i am only able to trigger actions when a specific message is received. eg: temp 30 degrees C humidity 90%.

how can i create a trigger from "any serial message received" rather than "specific serial message received" ?

Try replacing the variable data in the event with an "*" (asterisk), I believe it needs to be last in the event.
