" summary

Ruby code actually drives hardware: use r2 to blink an Arduino LED and a DigiSpark, scale to a 60-LED RGB strip that lights more LEDs with louder sound, and hook LEDs to Travis CI for pass/fail indicators. Bluetooth iBeacons report UUID and signal strength; a Leap Motion maps gestures to a karaoke controller. Sonic Pi plus a Launchpad MIDI pad generates music from Ruby. Go reads a brain sensor via Bluetooth. An off‑the‑shelf AR Drone "Louise" takes off and lands (PS2 controller is flaky; a dance‑mat controller works). Future focus is mRuby and Minecraft on Raspberry Pi.
