Firefly fail in rhino 8

Hello,

I am trying to use firefly to receive data from an ESP32 connected to my computer in the COM10. However, the error: “1. Solution exception:Method not found: ‘Microsoft.VisualBasic.Devices.Ports Microsoft.VisualBasic.Devices.Computer.get_Ports()’.” I am using rhino 8, does someone know why this happens and if the error can be fixed? I attached the file. Thanks in advance

Hi , this may help : Problem with port reading, while using firefly in grasshopper - #4 by AndyPayne

or you can use “UDP” methods instead.

Thank you Sadra! I ended up using UDP to communicate from arduino to grashopper!

Hi guys, I had the same issue, and I have just written a new plugin that solves the issue, both on Rhino 7 and Rhino 8. It is about serial communication only, I hope it helps, please let me know!
