Cylon.js For i2c
Cylon.js (http://cylonjs.com) is a JavaScript framework for robotics, physical computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT) using Node.js.
This module provides drivers for i2c devices (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%C2%B2C). You must use this module alongside Cylon.js adaptors that have i2c support, such as cylon-firmata.

Want to use the Go programming language to power your robots? Check out our sister project Gobot (http://gobot.io).
Getting Started
Install the module with: npm install cylon cylon-i2c
Note you must also install whichever adaptor you want to use, such as: npm install cylon-firmata
Example
var Cylon = require('cylon');
Cylon.robot({
connections: {
arduino: { adaptor: 'firmata', port: '/dev/ttyACM0' }
},
devices: {
blinkm: { driver: 'blinkm'}
},
work: function(my) {
var lit = false;
my.blinkm.off()
every((1).seconds(), function() {
if (lit === true) {
lit = false;
my.blinkm.rgb(0xaa, 0, 0);
} else {
lit = true;
my.blinkm.rgb(0, 0, 0);
}
});
}
}).start();
