algorithmic modeling for Rhino
A grasshopper infographic of temperature data taken from Pachube. A custom interface built in grasshopper is used (via sliders) to set the parameters for the Pachube API, which is then sent to a Python script that does the work for pulling the .csv file from online, and the returned data is saved to a text file that is then re-read by Grasshopper, thus outputting this infographic.
Lines/fills were edited in Adobe Illustrator.

I could upload the definition, but I fear it may be hard to parse through, as I even have a hard time understanding what the hell I was doing at the time.
If you would like I can still upload, but I am afraid I won't have time to help parse through it for help. I am rebuilding it currently, but in Processing rather than Grasshopper as I need this for a web visualization.
beautiful!
im trying to do the same but source static info from an excel doc.
any chance you can upload your definition?
Itai, I will try to dig it up.
Dear Adam,
I'm just trying to do the same, and I have not succeeded with either gHowl or Firefly.
Could you please share your script?
Thanks,
cheers,
Itai
I did try this first through gHowl. Although, from what I can gather, it can not get as specific as I need to get in my analyzing/visualizing Pachube data. Such as specific streams from a specific thread, specific time spans both short-term (x axis) and long-term (y axis). From what I remember (I don't have grasshopper open right now) gHowl's Pachube component only gives you an overview of a specific feed.
Also, Firefly would be useful if these feeds were from my own sensors, alas they are not. I am doing research into visualizing other people's temperature feeds in/near London and comparing that to weather station data.
Thank you for the feedback though!
nice!
I'm wondering though why the need for a custom script + re-reading of a text file procedure, couldn't one of the Pachube Read components (either Firefly or gHowl) do the job directly? I mean I don't know, haven't played with those too much, just curious.
