Explain what I do next - it doesn‘t seem to work as it should.

[IKT]

I have just installed RAD, and tried the blink example and got this
and don’t see any guidance of what to do next:

Looks like you need to:
a. Add code to your blink.rb (e.g. like from the RAD home page.
b. Configure your hardware also as shown on the RAD home page.
c. Plugin your arduino and do "rake make:upload"

Have a look at madrona's fork, it supports a later version of Arduino
github.com/madrona/rad

I gave a talk on using RAD and ruby at this years scottish ruby
conference
http://video2010.scottishrubyconference.com/show_video/5/2

Email me f you want more info.

Excellent! Thanks.

I tried the new “fork” version. It doesn’t work. Following these
instructions that I found:
https://github.com/madrona/rad#readme
I got as far as rake make:upload and then this horrendous error
occurred:

rake make:upload
(in /Users/ian/my_project)
/Users/ian/my_project/vendor/rad/init.rb:8: warning: already
initialized constant PLUGIN_C_VAR_TYPES
mkdir -p /Users/ian/my_project/my_project
1 of 18 plugins are being loaded: blink.rb
rake aborted!
No such file or directory - /Applications/arduino-0015/hardware/
boards.txt

(See full trace by running task with --trace)

I took a look at the video you linked to but there’s something wrong
with it — it’s just a bunch of people sitting fidgeting while looking
at a screen forever while nothing happens. Or was that supposed to be
the joke?

By the way, I forgot to mention, I spotted an error:

when I typed the line
gem sources -a http://gemcutter.org (you only have to do this once)

I got an error:
-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('

So I tried it again without the brackets and also without what’s in
the brackets.

Only then did it actually work without complaining.
