The FarmBot core team is happy to announce the launch of farmbot-serial, a Ruby library that helps developers interface with FarmBot hardware while abstracting away low level hardware details.

It features an event based architecture via EventMachine and will allow developers to create third party FarmBot applications for a variety of use cases.

The gem is in an public alpha state and we plan for a stable release within the next two months. Check us out on Github and RubyGems for more information.
