Grasshopper_ArduinoCommunication

The Grasshopper_ArduinoCommunication repo is designed to facilitate seamless interaction between Grasshopper and Arduino boards.

Features

  • Compatibility: Supports Arduino UNO, NANO, and Mega boards.
  • Real-time Communication: Enables bi-directional communication between Grasshopper and Arduino via serial communication.

Requirements

  • Grasshopper: Ensure you have Grasshopper installed. Note: The Firefly plugin is not supported in Rhino 8.
  • Firefly Plugin: Install the Firefly Grasshopper Plugin to enable communication between Grasshopper and Arduino. Use a Rhino version compatible with Firefly (e.g., Rhino 6 or 7).
  • Arduino IDE: Install the Arduino IDE to upload code to your Arduino boards.
  • Arduino Boards: Compatible with Arduino UNO, NANO, and Mega.
