+# docker-ino
+
+Ino is a command line toolkit for working with Arduino hardware.
+
+The docker image helps you to run ino in docker to serve the purpose.
+
+## Quickstart
+
+Use coopermaa/ino image in an alias to deal with ino:
+
+    $ alias ino='docker run --privileged \
+      -v /dev/ttyS1:/dev/ttyS1 \
+      -v $(pwd):/app \
+      coopermaa/ino'
+
+Notes: You can save the alias setting in ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc
+
+Create a simple project and use blink as a project template which will create a simple sketch for LED blinking on pin 13:
+
+    $ mkdir blink
+    $ ino init -t blink
+
+If you look at the contents of your testproject directory, you should see a lib and a src directory. Within src, there will be a file called sketch.ino
+
+Let's build it and upload it:
+
+    $ ino build
+    $ ino upload -p /dev/ttyS1
+
+When the job is done, Arduino flashes with its buil-in LED on pin 13.
+
+## Tweaking parameters
+
+All examples were done in assumption that you have Arduino Uno. 
+If you have Arduino Mega 2560 and it is available on port /dev/ttyACM1. 
+We have to specify this for our build steps as command-line switches (You have to update the alias setting too):
+
+    $ ino build -m mega2560
+    $ ino upload -m mega2560 -p /dev/ttyACM1
+
+See [official ino documentaio](http://inotool.org/quickstart) for more information.
+
+## For boot2docker user on Windows
+
+First, get the serial port number associated with your Arduino board (use Device Manager).
+
+Shutdown your VM if you still have it open. Don't save the state - completely shut it down:
+
+    $ boot2docker halt
+
+Now navigate to VirtualBox, select the VM "boot2docker-vm" and then click settings. 
+Select the "Serial Ports" option on the left hand side.
+
+Click the "Port 2" tab, and then select "Enable Serial Port". For the Port Number, set to COM2. 
+This tells VirtualBox to have the Arduino board mounted at /dev/ttyS1. For the Port Mode, select "Host Device". 
+For "Port/File Path:", Enter in COM#. The colon needs to be there.

+
+That's it for configuring VirtualBox. Bring your VM back up and start to play ino.
