Is System.IO still forbidden?

[JoePatrick1]

I am trying to communicate with an Arduino through a plugin using System.IO.Ports but it seems to not be loading the plugin. When I remove 'Using System.IO.Ports' the plugin loads but I need it. I thought System.IO was no longer blocked. Is there any other way around this?

Found this in the log
 

[ERR 14:04:25.092] AssemblyLoader: Exception loading 'NavballHID': System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException: The classes in the module cannot be loaded.
  at (wrapper managed-to-native) System.Reflection.Assembly:GetTypes (bool)
  at System.Reflection.Assembly.GetTypes () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 
  at AssemblyLoader.LoadAssemblies () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 

Additional information about this exception:

 System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'NavballHID.NavballHID' from assembly 'NavballHID, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.

I am at mobile right now so I can't look at mscorlib, but my guess is that the namespace you are using was added in .NET 4 which Unity does not support. System.IO is unbanned since 0.20 or so.

Looked it up. People say that you need to go to player settings and change from 2.0 subset to just 2.0. Now this all fine and dandy if you're making your own game but is there anything I can do about this with KSP as it is already published?

No. KSP use the Unity subset. Nothing to be done about it until the dev change it (and I forgot to mention it again for 1.1...)

Edit : and I think Ports is not in in either profile

So no way to do it this way then?

Is there a way I could write data to a local file that I can then write a separate program to access?

[sarbian]

The network and file class are here. You could use a native lib/call to access the ports (I think someone already did that)

@JoePatrick1 I knew that I read about that already :

Thanks, I'll take a look at that.
