Thanks for the feedback, all of it appreciated. I could use some help documenting and refining all of this stuff. As it turns out, I'm spending the day setting up 3 Galileos, so I'm taking a lot of notes on the process.
I've added some instructive links to the readme, but I still need your help to make getting started easy
Items needed:
Setup:
screen /dev/cu.usbserial 115200
cd /tmp;
tar xzvf /media/mmcblk0p1/iwlwifi-6000g2b-ucode-18.168.6.1.tgz;
cp iwlwifi-6000g2b-ucode-18.168.6.1/iwlwifi-6000g2b-6.ucode /lib/firmware/;

$ /etc/init.d/networking restart

$ ifdown wlan0

$ ifup wlan0
screen -ls
screen -X -s THE_SCREEN_ID kill
No problem. I'll do my best. Also if you Google poor man's telnet you should find a sketch that let's you run terminal commands from the serial monitor using only USB.

Which step or steps (from above) does this replace?
It doesn't really replace them but if you don't have the serial cable or serial converter (like me) you can use poor man's telnet to run the commands. On Jul 26, 2014 7:40 AM, "Rick Waldron" notifications@github.com wrote:

@garrows ah, gotcha, so an alternate. Yes, that's definitely useful
I've been working on improving the workflow with the IOTDK at Intel Labs and keeping notes as I figure things out here there is a little blog on getting started that may help make sense of all the documents provided - just my personal take on the tools.
Thanks Seth!
I think this has been addressed via several resources.
Hey I just got my blinking light example up and going and wanted to provide some feedback on difficulties I had.
I first looked at https://github.com/rwaldron/galileo-io which doesnt give me enough information to get started from scratch.
Then I found this https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/galileo-getting-started-guide/all which was good but doesn't tell me anything about nodebots (obviously).
Then I read this http://bocoup.com/weblog/intel-galileo-javascript-nodejs/ which led to a bit of confusion. The articles had the blinking light GPIO example which was cool but the follow up examples of
new five.Led(13).blink(500);
led me to believe the same LED should be blinking. It didnt.After a blind stab in the dark, I thought I would put a multimeter to pin 13 and see if it changes and yes it did. The whole 'pin 13 LED standard' isn't there on the Galileo and your examples suggest it is.
Another problem I had was the examples using
var Galileo = require("galileo");
andvar Galileo = require("galileo-io");
both didn't work for me however the auto detection using plain old require("johnny-five") worked.Hopefully this feedback helps.
Thanks for making this work on the galileo. Exciting stuff.
