is called TouchOSC (http://www.hexler.net/software/touchosc).
Basically, what TouchOSC does is sends a message over UDP, but it's formatted according to the OSC specification (http://opensoundcontrol.org/spec-1_0). Firefly (and Ghowl) both have UDP/OSC receivers (although they work slightly differently). Basically, you have a sender (your phone) and a receiver (your computer) and the sender has to know the IP address of the receiver and they both have to know which port they want to communicate on. The port can really be any number you want. So, when launching the TouchOSC app, you need to go into the settings and specify the IP address of your computer and the port you want to use. Then, just pick a layout and start moving sliders to send the data. On the Firefly side, just drop a OSC listener component onto the canvas and specify the same port number you put into the app. Then, connect a Timer component to the OSC listener to get it automatically refresh at a given interval. The data should come over as a data tree, and you can extract the header of the message, or the actual value using the standard Data Tree components.
The one thing you may want to know is that some networks will restrict communications over UDP (particularly those at schools, or other institutions). I would recommend starting out using your home router, which hopefully doesn't have these restrictions. If you do want to use it at a school, you may need to create an ad-hoc network and make sure your phone and computer are both on that same network. Other than that, it should be pretty straight forward. Hopefully this gets you started.
Cheers,

Some word about the mesh... (see Image_01)
I took a flat 4 points NURBS surface as imput (very easy, it defines the total area of my pavilion) and some points (that defines the contact with the ground).
Then I extracted a grid of points from the NURBS (Surface_Util_Divide surface) and compared 'em with the contol points, in order to associate to each grid's point its own attractor (Vector_Point_Closest Point).
Than I moved the points down. I used the distance from each point to its attractor (inverted) as amplitude for the vector of the movement, in order to say: the nearer you are to the control point, the more intense your movement will be. During this operation I've passed the distances' data list into a graph mapper (Params_Special_Graph Mapper), in order to regulate in a very intuitive and interactive way the shaping of my canopy.
At the end of the process I asked GH for a simple Delaunay mesh (Mesh_Triangulation_Delaunay Mesh). It's a very cool command, I believe!!!
Ok, now some word about the component, it's design and it's repetition/adaptation to the mesh...
(see Image_02)
I took the mesh and extracted components on first and faces's information on second. Then I selected and separated the vertexes (1°, 2°, 3°) of each triangular face into threee well defined list.
Then I re-created the triangles' edges. Please pay attention because it's not the same if you use output information from Delaunay components, because here we need a justapposition of edges where triangles touches each others.
After this work I joined the edges and found their centroid. At the same time I found the mid point of each edge.
Now the component... (see Image_03)
It' a little bit longer to describe: I'll try to be synthetic.
Substantially it is a loft from a curve to a point, repeated three times for each triangle (Surface_Freeform_Extrude Point). The point is an elevation of the centroid of the triangle (you can choose if the exstrusion has a single height or it's related to an attractor. In my case it was fixed). The curve is combination of things. There's an arch, which starts on the edge (there's an offset from the corner) end terminates on the same edge (on the other side, obviously). While it's generation the arch passes through a third point which belong to another segment. This last connects the mid point of the original edge (base triangle) with the centroid. The result is a kind of polyline, with two segments and an arch. If you go back to the image of the component that I posted probably you'll understand what I'm saying better than with the definition.
The posit…
ns. but first allow me to explain what i'm trying to do: i have a serial device i want to talk to, but i have to do it using some sort of handshaking. for instance, when i send a command/data, i need to wait for an appropriate response before sending another. i have used andy payne's general serial components from firefly, but i don't think they'll work for what i want to do, and in general, i want to know how to do this from scratch. i'm using the pyserial library to do the comm, and i can get it to work within one script. here's an example of a working (mostly) port open/close script (x=input param for baud, y=input param for port name, z=boolean input param for open/close):
import serialmyPort=serial.Serial()myPort.baudrate = xmyPort.port = yif z == True: try: myPort.open() except: print "Something went wrong. Cannot open port." if myPort.isOpen() == True: print myPort.name + " is open" if z != True: try: myPort.close() except: print "Something went wrong. Cannot close port." if myPort.isOpen != True: print myPort.name + " is closed"
this all works well and good. here are my questions:
1) I can open the port and then close it. however, if i try to re-open it, i get an access denied error. it seems rhino is holding the port open, as i have to re-start rhino to get it working again. i read through the discussions and didn't see any definitive answers to this problem. any advice?
2) I'd like to share this port with other components (or at least break up the functions of opening/closing the port and read/write, not unlike how the firefly components are organized), but i have no idea how to share an object instance between components. i did see that there is a sticky dict and tried to add myPort to it, but i kept getting errors in the other component when i try to use the object's methods. for instance:
Component 1 Script:
import serial
import scriptcontext
myPort=serial.Serial("COM4", 9600)
scriptcontext.sticky['myPort']=myPort
Component 2 Script:
import serial
import scriptcontext
myPort=scriptcontext.sticky['myPort']
print myPort.read()
but i get messages like:
Runtime error (MissingMemberException): 'Serial' object has no attribute '_port_handle'
any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!

io, alle ore 19:30 presso la Mediateca MARTE di Cava de’ Tirreni (Sa), la lecture magistralis dell’arch. Walter Nicolino dal titolo “Augmented visions / Responsive spaces”, un viaggio culturale che, attraversando gli studi progettuali a diverse scale condotti tra la sede torinese e il centro ricerca di Boston, mette in luce una attitudine nell’indagare e nel dar forma alle interazioni tra le persone, gli oggetti e gli spazi, al fine di fornire possibili risposte alle nuove istanze poste dalla rivoluzione digitale.
In apertura i saluti istituzionali del sindaco Marco Galdi, mentre a introdurre la lecture l’arch. Amleto Picerno, promotore del Mediterranean FabLab di Cava de’ Tirreni e tutor della Summer School digitalMed, il laboratorio progettuale che da quattro anni a questa parte, indaga temi, pratiche e tecniche dell’attuale panorama architettonico internazionale. È la smart city al centro della IV edizione di Summer School Digitalmed 2013, che si svolge a Salerno dal 22 al 28 luglio con l’obiettivo di creare un sistema di relazioni e di interazioni continue tra la città, le persone e l’ambiente in cui queste si rapportano in un continuo scambio di informazioni.
Ad esprimere la critic ai prototipi di progetto che emergeranno dal workshop digitalMed, sarà proprio Walter Nicolino, architetto di spicco del panorama italiano, coinvolto in numerosi progetti di ricerca al Senseable City Lab del MIT di Boston, insieme all’arch. Carlo Ratti con cui è fondatore e socio dello studio torinese CARLORATTIASSOCIATI.
Il 26 luglio lo space 1.0 della Mediateca MARTE di Cava de’ Tirreni si fa, dunque, arena d’avanguardia per un interessante dibattito durante il quale, a proposito della Summer School digitalMed, si ragionerà anche sul modo in cui le tecnologie digitali influenzano l’architettura.
«Da qualche tempo a questa parte possiamo scegliere se orientarci alla perfezione tramite navigatori GPS o perderci come sognanti flâneur metropolitani; possiamo associare in un batter d'occhio infiniti layers di dati a un luogo, oppure contemplarne in silenzio il paesaggio; possiamo anticipare la realtà con sofisticate rappresentazioni virtuali, oppure esercitarci in giocose autocostruzioni partecipate.
Possiamo avere l'una e l'altra cosa: non si tratta di una scelta tra il mondo reale e quello virtuale, come predetto da parte della letteratura agli albori dell’era digitale, ma si tratta di capire come il nostro ambiente costruito e gli spazi in cui viviamo stiano imparando a parlare un nuovo linguaggio e ad interagire in modo sempre maggiore con le persone - afferma Walter Nicolino che parafrasando Le Corbusier “La civilisation digitale cherche et trouvera son expression architecturale”, sottolinea l’importanza di integrare le nuove tecnologie e radici locali senza perdere la visione e la dimensione umana della città: All’architettura è richiesta una revisione dei propri strumenti per creare spazi flessibili, inclusivi, in grado di adattarsi ai nuovi modi di vivere e lavorare e di rispondere in modo interattivo alle nostre esigenze».

ppresentazione di modelli per l’architettura ed il design, verso un apprendimento d' alto livello delle tecniche di modellazione parametrica 3D.
Il corso si svolgerà nei seguenti giorni:
Sabato 19/10 dalle 10.00 alle 19.00
Domenica 20/10 dalle 10.00 alle 19.00
Scadenza preiscrizione: 16/10
Contenuti
Durante questo corso, attraverso l' uso di tecniche avanzate di modellazione Nurbs,
si potranno costruire modelli tridimensionali complessi che permetteranno di comprendere le tematiche legate alle forme complesse dell’architettura.
Particolare attenzione verrà data allo studio delle superfici a doppia curvatura, alle superfici rigate e alle superfici sviluppabili, quest’ultime adatte alla creazione di manufatti rivolti alla produzione. Allo studio delle superfici sarà affiancata la logica della loro tassellazione, quindi il passaggio da entità continue ad entità discrete, indagandone il valore attraverso esercitazioni pratiche.
Per comprendere meglio le finalità pratiche della tassellazione verrà adoperata una plug-in integrativa specifica per questo tipo di operazione: Paneling Tools. Le lezioni pratiche saranno arricchite da brevi comunicazioni teoriche utili a perseguire l’obiettivo della costruzione di modelli complessi. Sintesi programma

de geometries, which can easily be adapted to changing design intentions and requirements. The core concept of the software is that the brick unit is the basis for every action performed. Basically, a design is generated through drawing, placing and manipulating individual bricks. BrickDesignoffers different methods to manipulate the individual bricks in order to map patterns on a façade. These methods can be extended ad libitum through an open script interface, which gives access to a number of brick parameters.…

of a hack to push it to an android device, and you can't use labels, which is a very bad point!
...
I won't buy an Iphone!
The other is Control OSC. It looks rougher, but it has a lot of advantages to me.
+ Game of Life included!
+ you can use and update labels :))
+ Has a nice muti touch widget unfeatured in touch osc
+ You can script the interface using java script manipulation in gh, stream it to your dropbox and update in one "tap", as follows
Does anyone have experience with scripting interfaces for this software? I'm stuck already. I know nothing of java script to begin with. As you can see I managed to format the labels but the osc message I could not find a way, it stays untouched.
Just in case someone knows better, here are my "objects" (I said that right?). The userXXX are replaced in GH.
{ "name":"userName", "type":"Slider", "x":(xPadding + .11), "y": yPadding, "width":.82, "height":.082, "color":"userColor", "min":userMin, "max":userMax, "ontouchmove" : "var roundedvalue = this.value.toFixed(userFix); LbluserName2.changeValue(roundedvalue)", "onvaluechange": "oscManager.sendOSC('/userName', 'f', this.value.toFixed(userFix))",},{ "name":"LbluserName1", "type":"Label", "x":xPadding, "y": yPadding, "width":.1, "height":.05, "color":"userColor", "value": "userName"},{ "name":"LbluserName2", "type":"Label", "x":xPadding, "y": (yPadding + 0.05), "width":.1, "height":.05, "address":"/userName", "color":"userColor", "value": 0},…
work with color to fit it into this logic (porous structure)?the range of colors: from white to yellow, orange, red. to blackis not so nice, saying, does not match to the design of the house.So there for it should only show the material what carries this pattern.So my question in yours case:i think that the picture of you must be thought as invert, so that it's become functional as well. if you thought this as invert,than you musst icrease the surface division,so that the rays of the sun can be disturbed to penetrate the house.that is a good the example:http://www.detail.de/inspiration/fuenf-hoefe-in-muenchen-100701.htmlin your case, the function of the patterns would get parametric significance. where more sunlight, consequently a denser pattern, and of course vice versa.therefore, the attractor should be the solar/sun system.http://digitalsubstance.wordpress.com/2011/12/07/facade-porosity-ad...What do you mean, i still see a version of you?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoqDYcCDOTgThanks…
