"Hmm... I didn't realize it was actually throwing an error (just a warning).  I will try to release a fix very soon.  And yes... I'd like to release the Leap component in the next version (along with some other new components).…"

"yeh it seems to be an actually error (red not orange) and no code gets produced..? looking forward to the next release anyhow, will it have leap motion connectivity by any chance? cheers!"

"Yes... this will happen because the Code Gen (which was compiled against a different version of GH which used to call the Control Knob a Dial).  So, even though you aren't using a knob... the code gen when it compiles itself into a…"

"Hi Andy, Thanks for the reply, although it doesn't seem to matter what definition I use, even your "firefly_05_CodeGen" example throws the same error and no code is produced, and there is no knob/dial to be found?"

"Hi Matt, This control knob issue is a minor issue that popped up with the latest release of Grasshopper.  It seems David changed the naming convention of the knob (it used to be called Dial).  I've fixed this in the next release...…"

Firefly

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

What is missing in generative design?

Here is a link to a very great blog post by Sivam Kirsh.  it is a review of the ”Design the Dynamic”  design conference in Melbourne.  He brings up some great points to consider with the new generative design tools we are all experimenting with.  Jump in on the discussion:

Volatile Data Management

Data Inheritance



Data is stored in parameters (either in Volatile or Persistent form) and used in components. When data is not stored in the permanent record set of a parameter, it must be inherited from elsewhere. Every parameter (except output parameters) defines where it gets its data from and most parameters are not very particular. You can plug a double parameter into an integer source and it will take care of the conversion. The plugin defines many conversion schemes but… Continue

Data Matching Explained

Data matching is a problem without a clean solution. It occurs when a component has access to differently sized inputs. Imagine a component which creates line segments between points. It will have two input parameters which both supply point coordinates (Stream A and Stream B). It is irrelevant where these parameters collect their data from, a component cannot "see" beyond its in- and output parameters:





As you can see there are… Continue

Persistent Data Management

How to set and alter persistent data records



Types of Data



Parameters are only used to store information, but most parameters can store two different kinds;



Volatile and Persistent data. Volatile data is inherited from one or more source parameters and is destroyed (i.e. recollected) whenever a new solution starts. Persistent data is data which has been specifically set by the user. Whenever a parameter is hooked up to a source object the… Continue

Hi Scott,

I am sorry to reach out to you in this forum, but I was not sure who I could direct this question to. I use a 3dconnexion space mouse and have been in contact with the manufacturer asking for a driver for Rhino 5, this was their response:

Rhino 5 beta is still a work in progress. Rhino provides an add-in on there website. With Rhino still in Beta if the add-in needs to be modified they will provide an update to the add-in.

If you have any news or can direct the team to provide an add-in on the website... it would be much obliged.

 

Thank you for your time.

Hi Scott

Is it possible to put some kind of sticky in the samples and examples forum that says do not post questions HERE as seem to have been quite a few question posted in there recently by newbies to Grasshopper.

Thanks Matt
