algorithmic modeling for Rhino

These 4 knobs are each connected to a 10 kohm potentiometer and then wired into an Arduino Uno board. Via USB cable into my computer where the Firefly component in GH reads the values. It works great and it's very fun to adjust a 3d model in this rather "direct" way...

Update: If you want to try this at home, please check out http://www.fireflyexperiments.com/ and download the Primer. You'll find almost everything explained in there. I ordered an Arduino Starter Kit from a Swedish site http://www.electrokit.se/moduler-mikroprocessor-arduino-starter-kit-mah-uno_12200001 and then I got some more potetiometers and some knobs.
I've put this in a case now, see here http://www.grasshopper3d.com/photo/hardware-remote-control-v2

Great Idea... I am guess you could attach other sensors as sliders too like, Pressue and Flex sensors to look a shaping and deformation forms...... Flex Sensor + Tapeworm Anyone :)
