Grasshopper
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.
How to control stepper motor with firefly?
Hi,
I have controlled servo motor with firefly lately but i couldnt find any way to control stepper motor through it...
The (Attach Files) is the way I control one servo motor in arduion with firefly.
Is there any solution that i can control stepper motor there speed/angle through sliders.Please help me to write firefly and how to connect motors with arduino ~ thanks

Hi Ali-Huang,
Have you looked at the stepper example file? You'll find all of the Firefly examples under MyDocuments/Firefly/Examples... and the file you may want to review is Firefly_10_StepperControl.gh.

Controlling a stepper motor with Firefly usually requires clear mapping between the plugin outputs and the motor driver inputs. You’ll need stable command timing and enough buffer space to handle pulses without jitter. While the RC28F256K3C120 isn’t directly part of motor control, reliable non-volatile memory like this can store calibration profiles or motion presets that improve repeatability when you reload your Firefly definitions. Adjust pulse rates carefully.
