    I believe I have serial output set up correctly, and it looks like it's connected? I have a sine wave looping to the rig which is animating correctly in the 3d view, but nothing seems to be outputting to the serial. The numbers in the Send box are not changing. How do I output the motion to the serial?

    Update: I found that the Send string has changed from all of the other versions so I updated it. Now I have a "connection" between the Rig and the serial output, but the motors still aren't moving. One step closer I guess.

    I found the issue with the motors not moving, I had the actuator bit set to 8 from trying things earlier. Changed it to 10 and now they're rocking. Literally.
