In this tutorial we take a look at automating a couple of sliders to with Rhinoscript. We also use the GUID viewer to get the GUIDs of Grasshopper Components. This little tool is helpful becuase you don't have to copy and paste and dig through XML code to find the GUID you need.

import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
import Rhino
import time
 
#Load Grasshopper plugin as gh
gh = Rhino.RhinoApp.GetPlugInObject("Grasshopper")
 
#SetSliderValue("GUID",Number)
 
rs.EnableRedraw(True)
 
for i in range(0,3,1):
    gh.SetSliderValue("GUID_FOR_SLIDER_1",i)
    for j in range(0,2,1):
        gh.SetSliderValue("GUID_FOR_SLIDER_2",j)
        gh.RunSolver("FILENAME.gh")
        time.sleep(1)
