I've reset the master branch of this repo to match the last Rubygems release. - @vickash
# Dino 0.11.2
[](http://travis-ci.org/austinbv/dino)
## Get Started In No Time
Dino lets you start programming your Arduino with Ruby in minutes.
#### Install the Gem
```shell
gem install dino
```
#### Prepare the Bootstrapper
Use the included command line tool to create a folder with the Arduino sketch you want to use and optionally configure it.
```shell
# If connecting via serial, USB or ser2net, this is all you should need:
dino generate-sketch serial
# If usng the ethernet shield, you'll want to specify unique MAC and IP addresses:
dino generate-sketch ethernet --mac XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX --ip XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
# For more options:
dino help
```
__Note:__ Current Ethernet shields come with a sticker indicating the MAC address you should use with them. For older shields without a dedicated MAC address, inventing a random one should work, but don't use the same one for multiple boards. Valid IP addresses depend on the configuration of your network.
#### Upload The Bootstrapper
* Connect the Arduino to a USB port on your machine, regardless of which sketch you're using.
* Open [the normal Arduino IDE](http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software)
* Open the `.ino` file in the sketch folder you just generated.
* Click the upload button (an arrow).
#### Verify Install
* Build the sample circuit [examples/led/led.png](https://raw.github.com/austinbv/dino/master/examples/led/led.png)
* From your terminal, execute `ruby example/led/led.rb`
* Observe your LED blinking continuously
