Android to gh3D

Hello,

I am working on a grasshopper file that I would like to be able to manipulate via my android phone. Are there any tutorials on linking gh to android? Any advice would be great. I have come across a couple short videos of some examples using TouchOSC but they don't really help to understand how the link is done. I hope to create my own app in either processing or python to control the gh model in rhino (if possible).

Thanks!

the other day I tried this: http://www.cerver.org/2011/remote-sliders/

but i couldn't make it work in my tablet android 2.2.

To remote control my pc i use real vnc http://www.realvnc.com/index.html but its a little slow working in gh with the touch screen (a lot of paning, zooming and redoing things).

Here another post about others softwares for this: http://www.grasshopper3d.com/forum/topics/splashtop-remote-desktop-...

Hello Drew,

You will need a protocol to get your devices talking to each other. TouchOSC uses the Open Sound Control protocol, which is more or less a layer on top of UDP. gHowl is a set of components that adds a few bits of functionality to GH. Some of that is the ability to listen for and send UDP / OSC messages. Check it out and let me know if you have any issues.

Best,

Luis
