default text dot font size), then 12, 10, 8 and the column on the far right 6.Indeed when you try to print them, they all look the same:
which seems to be some limitation of Rhino 5.I attached below a new python component which will bake text instead of text dots. Rhino 5 does not have a problem with printing of their sizes.Replace it with previous text dots baking python component.
The "Refresh" button should be pressed before you decide to bake…
al read” component in grasshopper.
But somehow it seems that the command line “TempSensor.requestTemperatures();” makes the firefly firmata somehow unstable. I have also connected 5 servo motor which move strangely irregular/wrong when the command line above is in the program. So, when I for example only control the "Digital Pin 12" in grasshopper it mainly moves the servo on Pin 11 (!) but also a bit time delayed the servo on Pin 12.
Do you have any ideas? It has to be something inside the “#include <DallasTemperature.h>” (Libary for the temperature sensor) which doesnt go together with the firefly firmata und gets something wrong in the "void WriteToPin" firmata command
Or do you may have any working codes for implementing a temperature sensor? Its doenst have to be the one i have, I could get another one.
here you can see the code: http://txt.do/drqao (a simplified version of the latest firmata including my TempSensor lines marked with "//...//TEST")

1.1 square meters). So, when you open the 1.1 square meter operable area in the middle of winter, the zone cools down so fast that you instantly shut the windows in the next timestep and start heating. In other words, you simulation does not have simultaneity heating and ventilation but it is unstable to the point that it is opening/closing the window every 10 minutes and turning the heating system on/off every 10 minutes.
There are a number of different ways to fix this:
1) You can still have the windows open in winter but you use an openingAreaFractionalSched_ to ensure that the windows only open a small crack in the winter months so that you don't overcool the zone. So you could make a CSV schedule that has a 1 value for all summer months but maybe only a 0.25 for all winter months.
2) Alternatively, you can add in a minOutdoorTempForNatVent_ that ensures that natural ventilation never happens when the outdoor temperature is very low. Typically, occupants will not open windows when outdoor temperatures are below 12 C and plugging in 12 to this input might help. I would say that you could go up to a 15C minOutdoorTempForNatVent_, given that your climate is fairly warm.
3) You could increase the timestep of your simulation so that the windows are only opening for 4 or 5 minutes instead of 10 (on the Energy Simulation Par component). While this might fix the issue, it's probably not realistically how a building would behave in real life.
3) You could reduce the operable area of your window. As I suggested earlier, it's a bit oversized for such a small zone. Alternatively, if your zone were deeper, the operable area would be more reasonable in relation to the zone volume.

evel in which each final branch contains a list of one number from each list in all its variations with the other two lists.

Becomes eight possible combinations:
1Ax
1Ay
1Bx
1By
2Ax

Either I could immediately break into 8 branches or branch twice from 2 items to 4 items then from those 4 items to 8 final items. I keep trying grafting with all manner of tree components and *never* obtain a simple dual branching fractal tree structure. I barely even need a tree actually, but I'd prefer each final branch to contain a list I can pull each final value individual value out of rather than dealing with string extraction. This is all to eventually plug all these variations into a parametric mesh model that now uses three sliders, and Python script also to bake them all as OBJ files.
Crucially I also need to obtain the numbers to use as part of my multiply exported OBJ files. I can so far only get a single range to export as a series of OBJ files automatically but not the whole three list array of them.

Loop'. The fun part of the slower version is that you can see what it's doing while it's running. 'Fast Loop' gives no indication that it's working, so you want to test it with small numbers and be sure it's coded properly before bumping the iteration count up.
The GH profiler running the slow version showed between 1 and 1.5 seconds per loop, but the reality was more like ~10 seconds per loop toward the end of an 11 X 11 grid, or ~20 minutes total. It's easier to be patient because you know it's working.
The 'Fast Loop' finished the same grid in 1.6 minutes! An impressive improvement. I've been running it on a 30 X 30 grid (900 points) for ~23 minutes so far and see nothing yet. Not the ~12 minutes I had hoped for... Now 36 minutes on this loop for 900 points... hope it's not stuck. Not fast! Later - DONE!! Profiler says 59 minutes for 900 points but it was more like an hour and twenty minutes total. It succeeded, I have a single 'Closed Brep' from 900 extruded rings, baked to Rhino.
Another strategy to explore would be doing 'SUnion' on a smaller grid using the Anemone loop, then replicate it by moving it as needed to form a larger grid; then run the copies through another 'SUnion' loop. I went ahead and implemented that while waiting. It works and is fast! Started with 3 X 3 and ran the result again as 5 X 5 (9 X 25 = 225 total) in barely ~70 seconds!? Trying 36 X 36 now... 1,296 points appears to have succeeded in less than ten minutes! Though it seems to take quite awhile after the loop ends before control is restored to GH/Rhino. I'll let you do your own experiments and benchmarks.
I encapsulated the loop in a cluster called 'suLoop' (blue groups).
