blinky helps you see the light - plug and play set up for build lights - get a build light up and running in a few minutes.
Setting up a build light on a new project always seems to be more of a hassle than it should be. Somehow it always seems that no one else has ever dealt with the exact combination of OS, CI Server and build light that you have in your sweaty little hands, and you have to write something from scratch. Again.
blinky is an attempt to fix that.
blinky aims to supply plug and play support for all combinations of
-
USB Light Model (or any other USB Device used to indicate build status)
-
Operating System
Plug in your USB light, and then do something like this
require 'rubygems' require 'blinky' blinky = Blinky.new.light light.success! light.failure! light.building! light.warning! light.off!
Want to plug in more than one light on the same machine?
require 'rubygems' require 'blinky' blinky = Blinky.new light_one = blinky.lights[0] light_two = blinky.lights[1]
Not sure which light is which?
# make light_one flash light_one.where_are_you?

Windows (Probably)
NOTE: Testing on Windows is partial at this stage
1) Install support for lib-usb-0.1 (www.libusb.org)¶ ↑
Install lib-usb-1.0 and the lib-usb-compat-0.1 layer with your favourite package manager.
For example, on OSX
brew install libusb
install lib-usb-win32. See www.libusb.org/wiki/libusb-win32
(Despite the name, this apparently supports both win-32 and win-64)
gem install blinky
NOTE: on OSX will probably need to provide your machine architecture. For example:
ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install blinky
Plug in your light and then do this:
require 'rubygems' require 'blinky' blinky = Blinky.new blinky.light.watch_test_server
Watch the pretty lights!
