Firefly


Firefly


A little bit FireFly


Let’s start http://fireflyexperiments.com/resources/ http://www.grasshopper3d.com/group/firef lyplugin?xg_source=msg_wel_group


First thing you need is to Download it


Fill in and submit

http://fireflyexperiments.com/download/


If you are lucky

If you are not

http://fireflyexperiments.com/download/


Unzip it (I would rather use 4.0)


For Grasshopper installation


Find this components folder and click on it


Inside the “Firefly_Build 1.0067” folder, inside the “Firefly Installation”, copy all of them to the components folder


Reopen your “Rhino” Open your “grasshopper” You will see “Firefly” GRASSHOPPER/ Firefly


But, you still don’t get the ticket for connecting with Arduino


When you start with Arduino, you need to upload the Arduino Code to the Board


Inside the “Firefly_Build 1.0067” folder, inside the “Aruino Code”,

UPLOAD the code BASED ON YOUR BOARD


Remember to choose the right port and board

Press Upload


Then, You Should Be Ready


Back to the Firefly


Basically is the same as “Arduino” code, but it’s easier to control if you are more familiar with grasshopper


Right component is the output. You can see the number of the port which is the same for both component. The toggle of OPEN is to control the code starts to do or not. DPin is the input-pin. DPin with “*”sign are those you can connect to servo motor. So the input number could be from 0-180.(degree) . (But you have to change it by right click on the Pin) Otherwise the basic setting for the input will be “0” “1” which means on or off


Make sure the “Port ” is right


Digital = 0 – 1 (int) PWM = 0 – 255 (int) Servo = 0 – 180 (int)


Press this 1st

DPin6~ is the input value which control the “SERVO”

Press this 2nd


Let’s Connect The Servo


You can see it rotate by the number from firefly.


Test the Sensing


Your Arduino Analog InPin should have something like LDR or Potentiometer.

Params/Util/Timer Rick click to set up time


You should know hot to make this.


receiver

The left side is still the Port The right side is the Receiver which you can get the data from the sensors We use the data to control the radius of the circle to made the Vase. In this way, we can use physical data to control both physical and virtual output.
