# 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://github.com/atduskgreg/rad/tree/master/lib/examples

The atduskgreg/rad wiki also contains a growing library of examples and hardware tutorials:

## Getting Started

To install the gem:

    $ 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:

```ruby

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

##Installing the Arduino Software

Installing RAD and the Arduino software on Linux can be a little more difficult than on OS X. Thankfully, the RAD command line tool can help. Run:

    $ rad install arduino

And RAD will do its best to get the Arduino software installed on your system.

#Get Involved

##Note on Patches/Pull Requests

* Fork the project.

* Make your feature addition or bug fix on a new topic branch

* Add specs and cukes for it. This is important so I don't break it in a

  future version unintentionally.

* Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history.

  (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)

* Issue a pull request.
