So while working, I am first getting this error message:
Then when I click on "OK", I get this error message:
When I click on "Close" I get this one:
Then these three error screens repeat for a couple of times, and in the end I am getting a grasshopper with red canvas:
I am using 0.8.0066 version (yes, I know I need to update to the newest one, but some components I have do not work with 0.9+ version).
Any help with this? Or do I simply need more RAM?
This is my PC configuration:
Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 1800MHz motherboard MSI P4M890M3-V (MS-7255) 2x1GB DDR2 266 Mhz ASUS EAH4670 512MB Direct x 9.0c Windows XP SP3 (32bit)
It might sound strange, but is there a way I can avoid buying new PC or RAM memory?
Maybe by deleting the Panels and Param Viewers?I might be wrong, but I think the error starts when you cross over particular part of canvas (or definition to be precise) where there are a lots of Param Viewers.
Thank you.…
t difficult to know how to modify your curves.
But if the curves are too weird or too different, it won't get much better. Remember you can still move control points while kangaroo is running.
The wrong of this method is that you don't have real control.
Setting deviation to 0 is usually not very useful unless your curves are almost good. With the wavy curves you sent me, I was happy with 2 (Deviation is something like a % of the curve length).
I much prefer the other method. Curves with few control points, you're able to define tangencies, you've got high degree continuity. With 4 to 5 cp, Galapagos will have a wide range of shapes to explore. With more cp you'll get smooth tuning. You can still take the relaxed surface as a base to draw such curves.
Other ways to increase developability.
First is obviously Sampling. This one is quite tricky. Higher sampling might result in either better or worse results. It's very cpu expensive too, because it involves a little more than (Sampling)² operations each time.
Second is the surface type. Usually Network surface is the best, and allows to join multiple planks with less sampling. It's more expensive too, and runs only with Rhino 5. Loft tight is a decent replacement.
The "Reverse curve list" button, and the multi planks mode when you input more than 2 curves.
But everything depends on your tolerances and that I can't answer.
There are still some bugs here and there, especially in the cusp filter part. Sorry about the unit of Gaussian curvature, I forgot to fix it. It's model units, so it should be [1/m²] in your case.
About the pc slowing, it's really vital to block timers all the time and turn phasma on and off when you must. I experienced some slowing today though, and I was worried, but it's normal now so it must have been Windows or some GUI thing...

ed to develop a component that reads data from a Tracking Server we have built here in our lab, on top of VRPN Server. We developed a client library to communicate with this server and to read data from different devices through the server, making our life easier. The fact is that I need to update data received from a wiimote for example (at a regular time interval) and output this data to feed other components. Our first approach was to test the inclussion of that library into the context of Grasshopper and it worked, but just and only for the first time the component is created of course. Now the problem is to call this update function inside grasshopper multiple times and update the output. I'm new to grasshopper component coding so, it would be nice if I can get some response of an expereinced developer or at least somebody that have developed something like the example I'm exposing here. Some code is posted below to clarify what I'm saying.
...
using VRPNClassLib; //This is our class lib.namespace MyComp{ public class MyComp : GH_Component { private VRPNController controllerWiimote = new VRPNClassLib.VRPNController("WiiMote0@localhost"); private Wiimote wii = new Wiimote();
...
private double rotX, rotY, rotZ; public MyComp() : base("Al required params ok") { try { controllerWiimote.addDevice(wii); } catch (Exception e) { throw new Exception("No wii controller attached to the PC: -->" + e.Message); } }
...
protected override void RegisterOutputParams(GH_Component.GH_OutputParamManager pManager) { pManager.Register_DoubleParam("Pos X", "X", "Wiimote X"); pManager.Register_DoubleParam("Pos Y", "Y", "Wiimote Y"); pManager.Register_DoubleParam("Pos Z", "Z", "Wiimote Z"); } protected override void SolveInstance(IGH_DataAccess DA) {
// If execute MainLoop() here for the first time it works of course, but I need to continuously read data from wiimote, how do I do that
MainLoop(); DA.SetData(0,rotX); DA.SetData(1,rotY); DA.SetData(2,rotZ); }
protected void MainLoop() { controllerWiimote.UpdateData(); //this is the function that updates device data rotX = Math.Round(wii.getSensorRot1(),2); rotY = Math.Round(wii.getSensorRot2(),2); rotZ = Math.Round(wii.getSensorRot3(),2); }
public override Guid ComponentGuid { //Genere el GUID del componente get { return new Guid("8F9858D8-F18E-45f2-90EC-CC23523ACC4F"); } } ... }}
So any sugestions are welcome.
Cheers :)…

and fabrication procedures, is being conducted in June-July 2014 in association with Shih Chien University and Tamkang University in Taipei, Taiwan. The interdisciplinary workshop provides an opportunity to architects and designers to be a part of the 12 day studio and investigate interactive design and fabrication solutions for dynamic socio-cultural fabrics.
ExtraFabrica is a part of Dezact’s exploration aiming to develop and test interactive design and fabrication scenarios in neglected or problematic urban interstices and ecologies, to adapt to existing constructs for new use and identity, to catalyse socio-cultural activities and to engage behaviour parallax between physical and virtual environments. Conditions of 'live' factors with extended duration and occupation, i.e. street life, derelict buildings, traffic, rain, dance, demonstration, and so on, are invited to interfere with quantifiable or codify-able parameters set out by design algorithm, feedback mechanism and fabrication dynamics. The idea envisages architectural outcome which enables fabrication of action, of participation, of change of values, of identity, of confluence of voices and dreams.

content from the "bin" folder to the "c:\ladybug\terrain shading mask libraries 64-bit" folder:
So not the very bin folder, but its content.Just do this and the component will work.
Hi Abraham,
But just want to remind that Marios Tsiliakos developed a component for unblocking the LB_HB components and libraries (Unblock All and Unblock).
Thank you for the suggestion. I am aware of that component. I shared an article about it on my facebook account last year, at the time when it was released. It's a great component!There are still two issues with it: It edits the windows registry.I order for it to edit the windows registry it requires an account with administrator's rights.To unblock the file manually you do not need to have an account with administrator's rights.
BTW i installed the release-1800-x64-gdal-2-1-0-mapserver-7-0-1.zip without issues (just unblocking).
Yes, the GDAL 2.x.x and MapServer 7.x.x versions will also work. But I can not install them on my PC, therefor I can not provide support for them. The GDAL 1.x.x and MapServer 6.x.x are sufficient for what the component does.If you intend to seek support for any future issues, please install the latest GDAL 1.x.x and MapServer 6.x.x version as said by the component installation instructions.…

le of weeks. But if you are patient I think we will try to solve most of the issues.
For the TOF module, I find that no matter which inputs I provide, the optimalTilt is always 45 and the optimalAzimuth is always 180. I'm providing a weather file input and a north vector.
You are the second user who reported this which means that I was wrong in my assumption of setting a very low default value for the precision_ input, it should have been higher as more user friendly for beginners. Basically the TOF component results depend on the precision_ input. The best would be to set this value to 100, let your PC run the whole night, and in the morning you would get the most precise tilt and azimuth optimal angles. However, as some of us are using weaker PCs, and as sometimes the difference between results from precision_ = 100 and say precision_ = 30 is less than a degree, you can try using the precision_ = 30 for the start.
By default the precision_ is set to only 2. I will make sure this is increased in the next release of this component. Your topic definitively contributed to that!
Another thing I noticed is that "TOF" component does not support north_ inputs not equal to 0, in terms of graphical representation of results. It would probably take me some time to fix this. But the numerical results (which is what we need) are supported.
By looking at some other similar PV applications, I haven't seen the optimal tilt/azimuth graphical representation which supports change of north angle direction, so maybe this is not too much of an issue after all. The important thing is the numerical part, which is outputs correct results.
I'm then using the optimalTilt and optimalAzimuth outputs to supply the PV_SWH_SystemSize inputs for arrayTiltAngle and arrayAzimuthAngle - obviously this isn't actually doing anything useful at the moment as the outputs from the TOF are always 45 and 180.
It will make sence now, that you increase the upper precision_ input.
With the PV_SWH_SystemSize module, I'm having issues with the spacing it is providing between the rows of PV. I know it calculates this based on the sun position on a date based on the altitude of the location the weather file provides, but I think the spacing is far too large, especially for a rooftop array where the space is more like 1-2m normally. I'm trying to specify a summer date in the format the minimalSpacingDate output provides (15 NOV 15:00) so the calculated spacing is lower, but it just throws up an error whenever I do.
minimalSpacingPeriod_ input of the "PV SWH System Size" component accepts data from Ladybug "Analysis Period" component. But again, I apologize: as this is my mistake for not mentioning this in its docstring (that's the explanation you get when you hover your mouse over this input). I will make sure this gets added to the next release of "PV SWH System Size" component as well!
I also noticed a bug with "PV SWH System Size" component - at the moment the values it calculates are not correct if north_ input is not equal to 0. This is due to the component using another Ladybug developer's code which calculates sun position angles. For some reason this code does not support changing the north angle direction. I will contact the author to see how this can be solved.
So to be clear: it's not that all Ladybug Photovoltaics component do not support north_ inputs not equal to 0. It's that "PV SWH System Size" component currently does not due to the upper issue. And "Tilt and Orientation Factor (TOF)" component does not support for its graphical representation of results. I will see if at least the first one can be fixed.
Finally, it would be really useful to be able to get the PV_SWH_SystemSize component to actually produce the array it has created as Rhino geometry, so they can be viewed when rendered; is that possible? Also, is it possible to restrict the module so that it only creates rows with dimensions such that it fits within a surface you provide?
The PV_SWHsurface output of "PV SWH System Size" component contains Grasshopper geometry of all PV rows. Are you familiar with baking in Grasshopper?
I attached below an example of how to perform a shaded PV analysis. I rotated the whole context by 40 degrees so that the issue with "PV SWH System Size" component could be overlooked. When you determine your minimalSpacingPeriod_ input, we can internalize its "PV SWH System Size" output, rotate back your context and use "40" as a value for north_ input for all components.
Let me know if something was not clear, or if I replied vaguely to some of your questions.I apology in advance if it may take me a bit longer to answer to your next question. This spring period has really toughen my free time.…

Il workshop avanzato ECOLOGIC PATTERNS affronta l’impiego di strategie parametriche all’interno del processo progettuale, approfondendo l’utilizzo di Grasshopper in sinergia con plug-in, software di analisi ambientale e simulazione fisica. Obiettivo fondamentale è la generazione della forma come risultato di tecniche di form-finding e di input ambientali (solari, termici e acustici). Verranno acquisiti nuovi strumenti operativi e di simulazione al fine di costruire modelli parametrici ottimizzati in grado di adattarsi a diverse condizioni di contesto.
