What is Firefly?
Firefly is a set of comprehensive software tools dedicated to bridging the gap between Grasshopper (a free plug-in for Rhino), the Arduino micro-controller, the internet and beyond. It allows near real-time data flow between the digital and physical worlds, and will read/write data to/from internet feeds, remote sensors and more. It also includes a Pachube reader.

Yes - Firefly is compatible with the new UNO board. The only difference is when you upload the Firely Firmata to the board. Within the Arduino software you must select the Arduino UNO board (launch the Arduino 0020 application and open the Firefly Firmata sketch: File > Sketchbook > “Firefly_DUEM_Firmata_1003.pde”. Then select Tools > Boards and make sure you have selected the UNO board). Let us know if you have any other questions.

FYI - We are working to update in the Primer and the information here: http://www.fireflyexperiments.com/download/. We should have everything ready in the next few weeks.

Best, Jason K Johnson

Is current Firefly compatible with the new Arduino UNO? I have been to the recent workshop in London and we were introduced to the new board.
Thank you

Luca

What version are you using when you say 'current version'? Is it some GH version of 0.7 or higher? Also, are there any older versions of the Firefly tools set already installed on your computer? If so, remove any older Firefly.gha files and make sure you're using the latest build (Firefly_1.003.gha). You can download the latest build at www.fireflyexperiments.com
