Not working on Maya 2018

[Skrytis]

Great work! We tried to build everything for windows 8 and maya 2018 with the very same code. We modified the serial2maya to work with windows, and everything seems fine. But nothing happens in the scene when moving the levers. Do you need other files in maya before you get this to work or?

arduino-maya-master\src\driver\serial2maya.py", line 44, in
cmd = 'arduinoUpdateChannel ' + str(i) + ' ' + v
TypeError: must be str, not bytes

So there's something wrong with the code...

Are you using Python 3, right?
If that so, try the fix I committed on the issue/#2 branch.

[Skrytis]

Yes, I'm using Python 3.6.4. This is with the fix. Basically the same error but in a different place?

I changed mayaconn.send(cmd) to mayaconn.send(bytes(cmd,'utf8')) and now it works! Really cool and thank you for this project!

Sorry I haven't tested it. Thanks for the fix. Are you going to make a pull request?
