"Hi Andy, many thanks mate.. yea it makes a sense...Basically I've got this working for two servos, however as you state I need to have 4 light sensors around the PV panel to control the positions of servos as I have to prepare a dual axis solar…"

"Sounds interesting, basically I don't need to use Code generator as its OK if I use my Arduino board that is connected to the Computer during its working. I might have other questions during this implementation so just wanna say excuse me if…"

How to transfer Grasshopper definition into Arduino utilising firefly?

Hi everybody,My project is creating Dual Axis Solar Tracker, and I have to do it via utilising Grasshopper, Firefly and Arduino.. well, I'm good at Grasshopper but just downloaded Firefly, thus I definitely need your help..-What would be a first step? Should I have a Grasshopper definition for the entire project? - How to use Firefly to transfer data into Arduino? Particularly, which component is needed?- Finally, If I create a physical Model for the project how does it work? in other words,…See More
