The mosquito model is fantastic. very creative!!

Thanks :)

so awesome!

and a wish for the future - is it possible for the search string component to somehow understand "?" and "*"  - this will give me the possibility to parse xml and json (or html) with the tags

Philipp: could you elaborate?

is it working on GH 0.9014? (at least not for me)

looks veery nice ;)

I programmed this based on 0.9006, because thats what my students use. I will upgrade the component though and make a 0.9014 version if someone can give me the installation files for 0.9006 so I can still help out my students if needs be.

I'm sorry that it does not work on 14 :(

just tried GH 0.9014 and it definitely works for me......What exactly was the issue you were having?

it says... unable to connect to the remote server (turned in red of course)

It needs access it the internet. Are you connected? do you have a firewall, i it block ing rhino?

yeeh! It was because of the firewall, thanks!!

Mosquito Update!

GoogleDirection : get a route and the directions from one location to another, with distance, time, and steps.

Location : Get the address of a given name of place or use a GPS point….reverse GeoCode.

GoogleMaps: show google maps directly in the rhino viewport.

GoogleStock: Access Googles stock market values on the NASDAQ, the NYSE etc.

Very Cool! Thank you!

I have been looking for something that creates curves from various map layers(ie roads, rails, Bike Routes)... Can any of these components do that?  Do you know of anything that could?

Here is a conceptual study of the project if I wasn't able to describe adequately...

Joseph: The plugin can find routes based on the physical address you give it. It will then find the appropriate route and give you back the time it takes to travel and the directions. You can also choose between cycling, walking or driving :) Does this help?

I will continue to experiment and see how the plugin will help me out.  So far it works great.

I'm actually looking for something that could create an actual vector map in rhino.  Preferably with closed curve for buildings etc... I know its a big wish

its great, hovewer google map component crashes the Rhino itself...

Rhino 4 sr9 

Mosquito Update! 0.2.1

GoogleMaps: Now works for all user profiles

My apologies , I forget that most people install their plugins via the components folder accessed through Grasshopper itself. So I have changed the directory this components looks for i.e.

C:\Users\%YOURNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Grasshopper\Libraries

If it is crashing rhino check the following:

1. You need to have the "sonicmaps" folder in your components directory, it holds the tiles.

2. You must not leave the "Reload" input on "True". Only use "True" when you want to load a new map, then change it back to "False".

Let , me know if you have any trouble.

Thanks to Philipp for pointing out this issue.

Hello! thanks for this amazing tool! I been working with this plugin a few days and today I have this problem, I don´t know what this mean,  I hope you can help me with my problem. Thanks for everything! Regards!

Yoshi: You need to put all the files from the download into your components folder, including "Newtonsoft.Json.dll"

Does that help?

Carson, is it possible to search only one group on facebook with your component? 

Hi Philipp,

I'll see if I can get it to do that:)

Could you provide the Group name so I can test something?

Thanks

SENSEable for example

UPDATE 0.2.4:

Bug Fixes: Fixed bugs with Twitter API access and new functions in String Duplicate component.

UPDATE 0.2.5:

Flickr: Search twitter database for photos based on location and tag/title.

ImageDownload: Download images from Flickr or Twitter plugins.

ImageMaterial: Map a image onto a nurb surface.

Hi Carson,

I was trying to fire up your Twitter Component. It worked for about 10 min and now I am getting this error:

1. Solution exception:The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.

Any idea what might be causing it?

 konrad k sobon: Could you post your GH file, I will look into it right away.

Twitter_request_01.gh

Thank you!

konrad k sobon: I opened the file and everything works fine when searching for "arch_laboratory". Twitter does limit the number of calls an IP_Address can make per hour, so if you are using a school network and sharing an IP and someone else is making hundreds of calls, then you will be banned for an hour.

I believe the hourly limit is 350.....

"Rate limits for unauthenticated requests are applied to the IP that we see."

Carson,

You are 100% right. I am not using a school network, but i put a Timer component on it and set it to 1ms which means that i timed out of possible connections in less than half a second. :-) My bad. I will try again and make sure that I set my timer to around 11 seconds to prevent it from reaching the hourly limit. Thank you for reminding me of that. I knew there was a limit, but forgot about it.

Konrad

No problem :) I forget things like that all the time, hope you find the plugin useful.

Carson

It already is. You probably noticed what I am going to do with it. I will use it to look for certain tweets that will become triggers. I was looking at using a Pachube Feed and control it from there, but this is much faster. Also, did you ever think about adding a possibility of reading Direct Messages? I am thinking that if i start sending some random tweets from my main account to control Grasshopper it will annoy my followers. I dont know if i want to create another Twitter account just for that purpose, but that might be a must.

Thanks for help!

Thats a nice idea, so by "Direct Messages" you mean that it would be a separate messaging database from Twitter? Or that it has its own twitter account?

Separate database and it becomes another output on the Twitter component. That would be a good addition to your plug-in.

I'm really excited to try out some ideas with your plug-in, but I have no idea why I can't get it to work... I have checked to see if the Newtonsoft.Json.dll file is in the components folder and it is.  I have checked my Windows firewall and allowed Rhino 5 to access the internet... But I'm still having problems.  When I opening any of the example files they are red and give me a "Could not load file or assembly" error

I am running Rhino 5 SR3 (I tried it on SR2 before I upgraded and same thing).. Grasshopper 9.0014.. Windows 7 64-bit.... all on Bootcamp on a new MacBook Pro

Any ideas????

Let me re-states that I can't get the Media components to work... :)

I'm getting an error saying this "Solution exception:Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=4.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified." I have the Newtonsoft.Json.dll in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Grasshopper\Libraries, but it will not work. Any help would be much appreciated.

How to fix : "Solution exception:Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=4.5.0.0,

Drop the Newtonsoft.Json.dll into the Rhino 5 directory where you will find Rhino.exe...... this should fix the problem:) Let me know if it does not.

Works perfectly, thanks! 

UPDATE 0.3.0:

FaceBook plugin Working again!: The plugins have been reprogrammed so to work with the new Facebook OAuth API.

NEW Record Media plugin: Allows you to record social media information from the media components over time without duplicates. Might be complex for some to use at first. Check to example files included and it should be self explanatory, else send me a msg and i will try to help 

I'm getting a message that says "the remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden". Any ideas on how that could be resolved? Was originally getting the message "Solution exception:Could not load file or assembly 'Newtonsoft.Json, Version=4.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed". And followed the steps for that, but ended up with this other error.

Which Plugin is giving you the forbidden error?

Its anyone of them so the "facebook, twitter, etc.." And the script is from the example files.

Has the Topsy tool been removed from version 0.3.0? It doesn't seen to be in the download.

Hey Scott, yes Topsy has been removed due to them making there API a paid service.

Sorry :(

Hey Carson-

I'm getting the same "forbidden" error Jacob was getting as well.  I'm not getting it for FB, but I am getting it for Twitter.  I'm also getting a "unauthorized" error on the Twitter User Search.  Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Alex

Hi Alex,

I am getting the same error today.....aaaarrrh, twitter, they love to change their API every now and then which breaks the GH plugin. I will need to recompile the plugin sometime this week.

Sorry :(

I will let you know once its done.

TWITTER plugin is DOWN for the time being , working on a fix

Dear Alex, apparently the application key was suspended by Twitter, I have contacted them, and I am awaiting a response.

Hopefully the issue will be resolved shortly.
