@rockbot can you share the flickr images, I am having trouble with moving the bot after hackathon

Seems like everything is setup on the bot according to those flickr images, but I am unable to make it dance..

This is the log.. After first dance() I see Repl initialized...

node src/bot.js 1383940470696 Board Connecting... 1383940470882 Serial Found possible serial ports /dev/cu.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port,/dev/cu.usbmodemfa141 1383940470883 Board -> Serialport connected /dev/cu.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port dance() 1383940474981 Repl Initialized

Oh hey I know what's up with that. Need to connect to the USB port instead of Bluetooth @rockbot showed me how:

Plug Tapster into USB port on your Mac

Open terminal

type '/dev/usb' then autocomplete

the output should be something like /dev/tty.usbmodem1234

Copy that output line to the board object of bot.js such as:

board = new five.Board({
  debug: false, 
  port: '/dev/tty.usbmodem1234'
});

This will allow the app to connect to the proper USB port instead of Bluetooth or whatever else may be autodetected

Totally unnecessary, this bug was fixed and I'm so sorry that I forgot to push to npm.
