I am trying to connect to an esp32 I have hooked up to my computer over USB from inside Grasshopper. I’m hoping to send live control data from my grasshopper script to the esp32. I have looked around and only found two plugins, Firefly and Heteroduino, both of which seem to be abandoned (2015 and 2…

Hi @cameronbehning I think firefly still works. Even in RH8.

Some of the Firefly components will work in Rhino 8, but I believe the Arduino components will not work. However, it should still work fine in Rhino 7. Firefly has a Generic Serial Write component which I think should work for you. It basically just sends whatever string data you pass into the compo…

I’m running into a problem that I’ve seen mentioned in a few places. 1. Solution exception:Method not found: ‘Microsoft.VisualBasic.Devices.Ports Microsoft.VisualBasic.Devices.Computer.get_Ports()’. This appears to be caused by the switch from .Net to .NetCore in Rhino 8. As the developer of the p…

I can’t really say much. I have started working on a version 2.0 of Firefly and it would be a complete rewrite from scratch. The goal is to make it cross-platform compatible and it would target the latest .NET frameworks. However, it’s still in its infancy so I don’t really have a timeline as to whe…

Have you tried Funken ? It was originally developed by @ar0551 for ironpython, but if you want to use it with python3 in Rhino8 you can use my fork: GitHub - filipejsbrandao/GhFunken: Grasshopper interface for Funken Serial Protocol Toolkit . Andrea hasn’t yet merged the branches.

I had the same issue with serial communication, and I have just written a new plugin that solves the issue, both on Rhino 7 and Rhino 8. It is about serial communication only, The name is superSerial Firefly (great plugin, I have used it so many times!) unfortunately does not work with Arduino R4 …
