Gate Switch that streams Data depending on Boolean State

by Thomas Lechner

Feb 25, 2015

Hello Everyone,

I have a question about Firefly. I installed it and made up a definition in Grasshopper and everything works fine there. But when I try to generate Code it says that one part of my Grasshopper file can't be translatet (in the picture - Solution 1, 2, 3). I tried different ways of solving that problem - but it is always the same.

What it should do is - if there is a boolean toggle = false it should not stream data - if the toggle is true it should stream data.

Does anyone know a way how to acomplish that and still be able to generate arduino code?

Thank you very much

Tom

    Hi Tom,

    Right now, my guess is that the Firefly Code Generator does not have an internal function for the Stream Gate or Cull components.  It's probably possible for me to write a function which will perform the same functionality of the Stream Gate function, but I will need to look into it more.  Your best bet to get the equivalent code would be to write the arduino code yourself (which may or may not be difficult given your level of programming experience).  May I ask why you need the code to be generated?  Does your device absolutely need to be unplugged from your computer (which would probably be the only reason this was necessary).

      Nazdárek! V Jihlavě na nádraží jsem viděl plakát a hned mě napadlo, že to zkusím místo nudného čekání. Moje historie s hraním byla poslední měsíc tragická, ale https://chickenroads.co.cz/ mi dal šanci na restart. Poker mi šel od ruky a automaty pak dodaly ten finální jackpot. Jsem teď v zisku a cítím se naprosto spokojený s tím, jak se věci vyvinuly. Je to fajn zábava na večer a výplata výhry proběhla bleskově.
