Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Hello everyone,

Here you can download gHowl_r46 for Grasshopper ***0.7.x and 0.8.x***.  This is technically our third public release of the components, though the first two have been under a beta testing stage.  This release fixes a few issues and adds some functionality not found in previous versions.  We have included examples for various applications.  If you have any questions or have issues using the gHowl components, please let us know.  Please remember to have Open Office installed for the spreadsheet components. 

*** Tested with GH 0.7.0057.  Reports show that gHowl does not appear for GH 0.7.0055.  We will sort out a compatible version for 0.7.x with the latest release.  Works well with 0.8.0001.***

Components:

UDP:

UDP Components now have the ability to send and receive to a Multicast group.  To send or receive to a Multicast group, make sure you use the IP Range of 224.0.0.0 - 239.255.255.255.

OSC functionality is provided by the Bespoke OSC Library by Paul Varcholik.



Network Source
- Tests the connection of your machine to a network.

UDP Send - Allows the sending of UDP messages over the network.  Also allows the sending of OSC messages to OSC enabled software and hardware devices. (Deleting this component in 0.7.0057 crashes GH / Rhino)

UDP Receive - Allows the sending and receiving of UDP messages.  Also allows the reception of OSC messages and bundles (from Reactivision for example).(Deleting this component in 0.7.0057 crashes GH / Rhino)

OSC Channel - This component allows the storage of a single OSC Channel.  Change the component's nickname to store that address' data.

OSC Dispatch - This component allows the storage of data from multiple OSC addresses.

Spreadsheet:
The spreadsheet components leverage the Open Office Calc engine.  You must have Open Office Calc installed in order for these components to work.  These components read and write *.ods, *.xls, and *.xlsx files.  Supports numerical values and strings.

AppChecker - Checks to see whether Open Office Calc or Excel are installed on your computer.

Spreadsheet In - Retrieves spreadsheet data from a file stored on your computer. (Deleting this component after referencing a file in 0.7.0057 crashes GH / Rhino)

Spreadsheet Out - Allows you to write a spreadsheet file. (Deleting this component after writing a file in 0.7.0057 crashes GH / Rhino)

XML:
These components retrieve xml data from local and web sources (such as RSS feeds).

Pachube - Retrieves data from a Pachube feed.  Must have a valid Pachube API. (Deleting this component after making a connection in 0.7.0057 crashes GH / Rhino)

XML Parser - This component parses an XML file stored on your computer or on the web.

Thanks! 
The gHowl Team...

Nice job to the whole team!
Oh, yes, of course!!!

Sorry to forget the others!
just fixed the download link. Was linking to the wrong version.
Hi Luis,

I copied the component gHowl_r46 to grasshopper component folder, but nothing happens. There's no new gHowl tab or anything else. Do I need to customize something?

BR,
Dicky
Hey Dicky, can you try to redownload the zip file and use the gha inside? Let me know if it fixes your problem. I just uploaded what should be the fix to your issue...

Best,
Luis
it workssss.. thx alot Luis

BR, Dicky
As usual Luis, awesome!

O
good work! was just testing the previous version with processing...
We recommend you upgrade to 0.8.0001 as a change in the way deleted objects are handled might cause errors in 0.7.x.
Hi Louis,

I work with 0.7.0055 due to other components I'm using which I'm not sure will work on later versions, just tried to use gHowl_r46 (re-downloaded it a minute ago) but components do not show.

Do you suggest me to switch anyway to 0.8?

Thanks a lot,

Alessio
when did you download? If you downloaded yesterday, or very early today, try to download again now and see what happens.

Luis
