This days I have been working on a small library for the i-Buddy device, a small gadget for MSN Messenger lovers, that you can connect to your computer through a USB port and has some functionality like light its head with different colours, light a small hearth, move the flaps and turn left or right.
The main attractive is the price (no more than 25 €) and the simplicity.

The library result of my work is rubi-buddy, and works with Ruby and ruby-usb, and its inspired in the one that developed at 11870.
The library is in progress, because I still have to implement the flap movement. Also, I want to add more examples in the project. At this moment there is only one that checks the response code from La Coctelera and turn the head light green or red.
If you are interested, I encourage you to use it and to add more examples.


congrats!!
Muy bailable, felicidades :)
Usalo para la salida de autotest, en lugar de growl, luz roja, luz verde y continuous integration with i-buddy ;)
Jejejeje, más bien será para el Tomcruise, pero sí, por ahí van a ir los tiros :)
Hey blat,
Nice work! I still think the correct approach would have been to develop a client for what you wanted for pybuddy using its udp command based interface. It would have been much easier (and all commands are already implemented). You know, one daemon to rule them all ;)
Hey! just wanna say that if you (post author) consider 25€ attractive price consider checking cheaping option at ibuddymania.com (2 units for 35€ final price) or one for 20€
Cheers and congrats for the work
What a coincidence, I'm also working on something like this (albeit for .NET).
Maybe we can help each other out, by figuring out killer applications and/or control protocols :).
