Install rabbitmq first: http://www.rabbitmq.com/download.html Or brew install rabbitmq on Mac

Start it up with rabbitmq-server

Install gems to talk to the message queue:

gem install bunny
gem install amqp

Start the daemon, which doesn't actually daemonize itself....

ruby daemon.rb

Run the test:

ruby test.rb

daemon.rb

#
# Hook up to the board.
#
require 'dino'
connection = Dino::TxRx::TCP.new("192.168.0.149")
$board = Dino::Board.new(connection)

#
# Set up the RGB led and my desk lamp.
#
$lamp = Dino::Components::Relay.new(board: $board, pin: 8)
$lamp.off
$rgbled = Dino::Components::RgbLed.new(board: $board, pins: {red: '9', green: '10', blue: '11'})
$rgbled.off


#
# Handle incoming messages.
#
def handle_incoming(message)
  component, data = message.split("::")

  if component == "rgbled"
    r, g, b = data.split(",")
    $rgbled.color = [r,g,b]
  end

  if component == "lamp"
    $lamp.on if data == "on"
    $lamp.off if data == "off"
  end
end

#
# Set up EventMachine to listen for incoming message.
#
$incoming_queue_name = "dino.demo.incoming"
require 'amqp'
EventMachine.run do
  conn = AMQP.connect(host: "127.0.0.1")
  channel   = AMQP::Channel.new(conn)
  queue     = channel.queue($incoming_queue_name)
  exchange  = channel.direct("")
  puts "Connected to AMQP broker. Running amqp version #{AMQP::VERSION}."
  
  # Look for messages on the queue and handle them.
  queue.subscribe do |message|
    handle_incoming message
  end

  puts "Listening for messages on queue: #{$incoming_queue_name} and processing..."
end
