Dancing with Robots

" summary

Ruby code uses the R2 Ruby framework on top of Celluloid to talk to hardware via Firmata on Arduino, DigiSpark, Spark Core and BeagleBone Black, driving drones, disco lights and gamepads. Demos show Leap Motion triggering karaoke, Ouya and PS2 controllers mapping buttons to actions, a robo‑selfie AR.Drone and an RGB strip of 60 LEDs driven by Ruby Processing. Some demos run cleanly; Wi‑Fi and controller failures leave a few builds nonfunctional but the code and tooling are real.
