Usage

Simple:

require 'dream_cheeky'

DreamCheeky::UsbFidget.run do
  push do
    `say "BEEP!"`
  end
end

Advanced:

require 'rubygems'

DreamCheeky::BigRedButton.run do
  browser = Watir::Browser.new

  open do
    browser.goto 'devastatingexplosions.com'
  end

  close do
    browser.close
  end

  push do
    browser.object(:id => 'flashcontent').click
  end
end

Requirements

1. A supported Dream Cheeky USB Device. Example: http://dreamcheeky.com/big-red-button

2. Mac OS X with Developer Tools installed or Linux with libusb and udev installed.

3. On Linux you may have to add a udev rule. To do that, create a file named 99-dream_cheeky.rules with the following content:

    SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1d34", ATTRS{idProduct}=="000d", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
   

   Then, copy the file to /etc/udev/rules.d/99-dream_cheeky.rules (you probably would need root priviles to copy it).
