I'm using this same repo for deployment, so excuse the mess. Let me show you 

around.

boatduinode.js - the node.js app, which handles connections and commands and such

boatduinode.rb - the ruby script which acts as a client for the node.js app, and translates commands from there into serial commands

Boatduinode.pde - receives serial commands and interfaces with the RC remote

BoatTest.pde   - simple arduino sketch that pilots the boat in a most drunken manner

web_socket.rb  - smallish websocket lib for boatduinode.rb

Some notes:

The app uses socket.io, which doesn't seem to be well-implemented in ruby 

anywhere (certainly not client-side). As such, the script simply picks out 

commands it's looking for and relays the rest. This suffices, as all I needed 

was to receive five different commands and respond to the heartbeats. Node.js 

doesn't seem to care beyond that in this case.

The motors turn on when I pull the pins LOW, and off when they're pulled HIGH.

Go figure.
