Description

I installed the repo tonight, flashed the firmware, all of it said it was successful.

I updated the script to use D2 since I already had a grove temperature sensor plugged in there, but I'm getting this error:

Research direction

Start with Software/Ruby/tests/test_read_digital.rb and the require statements in Software/Ruby/grove_pi.rb, then compare them with the reported i2c-devices stack trace. Reproduce the command on the Raspberry Pi; done means the Ruby test starts without the I2CDevice NameError and reaches its sensor-reading behavior.
