New Github repo for Rhino--> Arduino Python examples

[frankfralick]

I had the urge the other day to try to make use an Arduino to interact with a Rhino model. After some searching all I could find was a Grasshopper project called Firefly. I didn't want to use Grasshopper and since it was easy enough to demonstrate how to accomplish this using only Rhino's Python API, I thought I'd share.

The example is extremely simple just to communicate the few important steps to doing this. If anyone has anything they have done that is similar, I'd love to hear about it. Soon I should be posting examples that are a little more dynamic, and that demonstrate some real world use cases I have in mind.

The repo's readme also has some links to YouTube videos demonstrating models being controlled through exterior sensors.

Oh, its for Windows... Any chance this could work for OSX?

[frankfralick]

Yes it will work for osx. There is a Autodesk Inventor example that only works for windows but I believe you will not have any problems with the Rhino example!
