=Welcome to RAD (Ruby Arduino Development)
RAD is a framework for programming the Arduino physcial computing platform using Ruby. RAD converts Ruby scripts written using a set of Rails-like conventions and helpers into C source code which can be compiled and run on the Arduino microcontroller. It also provides a set of Rake tasks for automating the compilation and upload process.
For a full introduction see http://rad.rubyforge.org
==Documentation
The main documentation is here: ArduinoSketch.
See also the Arduino Software reference: http://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/HomePage
==Examples
See the examples directory for lots of examples of RAD in action: http://rad.rubyforge.org/examples
==Getting Started
Install the gem:
$ sudo gem install rad
Run the rad command to create a new project:
$ rad my_project
Write a sketch that will blink a single LED every 500ms:
class MyProject < ArduinoSketch
output_pin 13, :as => led
def loop
blink led, 500
end
end
Attach your Arduino and use rake to complile and upload your sketch:
$ rake make:upload
