Firefly Plug-in

Firefly offers a set of comprehensive software tools dedicated to bridging the gap between Grasshopper, (a free plug-in for Rhino) the Arduino microcontroller and other input/output devices. It allows near real-time data flow between the digital and physical worlds – enabling the possibility to explore virtual and physical prototypes with unprecedented fluidity.See More

"Great. Thanks for the help, Daniel. I have lots of questions, but before I open my mouth to ask them, I think I need to spend some time exploring Kangaroo in depth. At that point, if I still have questions, I'll pipe up here. "

"Hi Aaron, I get the same error message on opening that file, as it was made with an earlier version, but I am still able to ignore the message and the file works. Anyway, here it is resaved in the new version. Generally for making kinematic models…"

"Great to know that our help is usefull :) I didnt try, but I would say that this IK approach would not work well with more degrees of freedom ;/ But for your purpose it seems to be fine. (please remember that I'am not an IK specialist…"

"Mateusz, I finally got around to checking out the Delta robot challenge files. Those are fantastic! The cool thing for me is that the files exactly implement the theoretical kinematics graphically, so now I have a better idea of how to…"

"Hi Daniel, I was finally able to get back to learning Grasshopper and trying out Kangaroo, so I attempted to open the 'Walker' file within the SimpleKangarooExamples zip. However, I'm getting a bunch of the following…"

"Wow. This is all really great stuff - thank you. I'm a complete newbie to Rhino/Grasshopper/Kangaroo, so I've got a lot of options to play with here. My requirements are pretty specific, based on my target application and our fabrication…"

"Great - thanks for the sketch! I'm really looking forward to playing with it. Like I mentioned before, I just got started with both Rhino and Grasshopper today, and between your and Daniel's suggestions and help, I've probably got…"

Daniel Piker replied to Aaron Hoover's discussion Designing dynamic folded structures?

"Hi Aaron - Very interesting project, and I'd love to see if Kangaroo can help. It is possible to take any mesh and automatically unfold it. The example on this page: http://www.grasshopper3d.com/group/kangaroo/page/example-files called…"

Mateusz Zwierzycki replied to Aaron Hoover's discussion Designing dynamic folded structures?

"This is what I was thinking about, but remember that this is only rought sketch. This approach is not elastic as it could be, it would always operate on similiar topology (number of legs can be changed, other parameters too) But it gives you e.g.…"
