"Sorry, C# isn't my department..."

"taz, thanks a lot! I added two input double variables, temp and xx. xx is a refresh-synchronized value from my wii controller, it updates every 50 ms. now I've tried to add all the incoming values to the former values. temp is set to 0 and…"

"Well, you could use theEngine from Grasshopper Tools in C#. The output is a counter which you can use to drive other things (like exploding letters). I used it because I couldn't figure out a way to use the GH timer to make an incremental…"

"I tried the mass addition with a single value from one axis. the addition throws out only the latest value, not adding all former ones. think I would also be more happy if you were wrong :)"

"hello andy, thanx for your post. in fact, I just got the seperation of the complete string working, at the end of the definition I get a single integer for each axis or button. but what you assume is right, I need a temporary variable. thing is,…"

"I may be stating the obvious... but why not simplify some things first. I'm not sure you need all of the data coming over the Serial Port. Why not just try to bring the Joystick Y value in as a single number (that way you avoid having to split…"

"so, this is a part of andrew paynes wii-to-grasshopper definition. on the left side there is the timer set to 50 ms. the vb-component is the interface to the arduino and the wii. on the right side there is the output string, each axis and button…"

"I think the biggest pro in grasshopper is that you can see geometrical and logical connections and relations in realtime. I think using GH is not much easier than scripting, but you can understand parametric models way better, when you move sliders…"

"taz, thank you for your reply. I thought about it before, but each time the arduino passes a value, it is a single integer. as soon as it is updated there is another single integer. Is there a possibility to create an array with a growing number of…"

"Core, Give [Mass Addition] a try. It sounds like what you're describing..."

"damien, your .net component is working fine. I simulated my wii-movements with grasshopper sliders and it works great. thank you for that! frankS, thanks for your suggestion. I will try it now! I wonder if I have to connect the 50 ms component to…"

"hi Core. Oops. i replied before reading your answer. i remember an accum(ulate) function from max/jitter. did you check the "Display function List" Button in fx editor."

"As you said, you will need to to sum up/add/accumulate all x,y and z values from the wii separately. this means adding deltas (relative changes) to absolute coordinates. you can use "compose point" to generate points from the xyz…"

"my data consists of a string like this: 123,200,30,0,0,100,214 the first three values are the x,y and z accelerators of the wii, the 0,0 are the two buttons and the last two numbers are the joystick axis. I took the definition and the library from…"
