Installation instructions

From source:

Playduino is built with Node and Grunt. Grunt is a node manager so will need to be installed with npm

• You must have an up-to-date version of Node. See these instructions if you have an older version of Node installed and need to upgrade: http://davidwalsh.name/upgrade-nodejs
• Clone the Playduino repo on your local machine
• Edit extension/src/serialmonitor.js
  • the line var urlAddress = "playduino.server.com" needs to point at your server
  • See server repository for details on configuring that
  • Note the above URL doesnt exist, you will need to configure your own server
• cd into playduino/extension directory
• Run sudo npm install
• Then run sudo npm install -g grunt-cli
• Run grunt

You should get a message that says "Done, without errors". Now you can install in Chrome.

• Install into Chrome by going to extensions (under settings), make sure 'Developer Mode' is ticked
• You can then click the "Load Unpacked extension" and choose the folder with 'manifest.json' in.
• The plugin will then be loaded and you can run it from the Apps button in Chrome.

Behind the scenes

• The plugin connects back to playduino.server.com to compile the code. This url does not exist and you will need to point this at your server
• The server side to this is at https://github.com/DecodedCo/ArduinoInTheBrowserServer
