Seems like everything is setup on the bot according to those flickr images, but I am unable to make it dance..

This is the log.. After first dance() I see Repl initialized...

node src/bot.js

Oh hey I know what's up with that. Need to connect to the USB port instead of Bluetooth @rockbot showed me how:

Plug Tapster into USB port on your Mac

Open terminal

type '/dev/usb' then autocomplete

the output should be something like /dev/tty.usbmodem1234

Copy that output line to the board object of bot.js such as:

board = new five.Board({
  debug: false, 
  port: '/dev/tty.usbmodem1234'
});

This will allow the app to connect to the proper USB port instead of Bluetooth or whatever else may be autodetected

Totally unnecessary, this bug was fixed and I'm so sorry that I forgot to push to npm.
