ExtremeFeedbackDevice

TODO: Write a gem description

Fetches Jobs from a Jenkins CI via the REST JSON API and sets LEDs of an Extreme Feedback Device to the status of the corresponding Job.

Tested with Ruby v2.0.0p247 running on Raspberry Pi with Raspbian "wheezy" / Debian GNU/Linux 7 "wheezy".

To get read-write permissions for the SPI-Device with udev you can add the following rule:

# /etc/udev/rules.d/99-spidev.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="spidev", GROUP="spidev", MODE="0660"

For this you first need to create a group spidev (as root):

$ groupadd spidev

Add your user to the new group (as root):

$ adduser foo spidev

After this, do a restart or run the following commands (as root):

$ udevadm control --reload-rules
$ udevadm trigger --subsystem-match=spidev

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'extreme_feedback_device'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install extreme_feedback_device

TODO: Write configuration instruction here

The default location for the settings file is: $HOME/.extreme_feedback_device.yml

• jenkins.*: ...
• infinite_loop.sleep: the time (in seconds) to sleep between each request.
• pi.num_leds: the number of LEDs on your attached Extreme Feedback Device.
• pi.map_leds: the mapping of LEDs (with LED's index) to Jenkins Jobs (with Job's name).
• spi.devive: the SPI Device to write on.

default:
  jenkins:
    user: api
    token: 0123456789ABCDEF
