Getting started with RAD - 0.3.0 & Arduino Environments

[Jordan Dobson]

I recently decide to start working with Arduino and RAD after seeing
JD Barnhart demo some of his projects in my ruby class.

So I'm wondering what version of Arduino environment I need or where I
would find the correct reference material for this info. I've
installed gem rad-0.3.0

I've been having some issues uploading my sketch, but have had luck
using the Arduino Software for 0016. I'm using a version of
Duemilanove w/ ATmega 328 - Not entirely sure what I would need to
enter into the config/hardware.rb & config/software.rb files.

I don't have my arduino handy at the moment & I realize I'm likely not
providing enough info to solve my issues at this point but... What
would be the info that I could provide that could help you help me
figure this out?

Also can anyone provide some advice or references on working with/
reading audio signals or input? I'm looking to work with lights based
off microphone input. Wondering if a standard stage mic would provide
enough signal or if it would need phantom power?

You need to change the baud rate when uploading to the 328. I wrote a
small blog post a while ago about this:

Good luck, and have fun!
