running this using: ruby led.rb results in:

The LED blinks as it initialize but nothing happens after that...

The same happens if I run it with:

artoo start led.rb

@avermeulen based on a suggestion on another thread I managed to get it working by switching from the port from '/dev/tty.usbmodem411' to '/dev/cu.usbmodem1411'
