Live Parameters

Hi,
I am wondering if anyone has ever experimented with modelling from live parameters...i have some sensors (pressure, temperature, wind speed etc) that I'd like to hook up and drive through grasshopper to generate a constantly changing Rhino model....any ideas?

That is a very popular topic around here.. Andy Payne and Luis Fraguada have done quite a bit of work on that.. and its available on their websites.

The basic idea is to talk to GH via UDP (it makes GH 'listen' for information on a specified port), and there are some UDP receivers floating around this forum if you dig a bit.. Guilio Piacentino has a pretty good which is available for download on his website.

You might also have to do a bit of coding in Arduino or Processing or a similar software which talks to your hardware and generates the UDP msgs (on the port that GH is listening to).
