Hi @Gordon
I don't know your application, but why not go with a gesture sensor, ie https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12787. The APDS-9960 is funny piece of chip. -
NetIO perhaps? http://netio.davideickhoff.de/en/

@Gordon Thanks alot, was struggling with this, too.

@polaroid62 You have to write an IO Plugin for Espruino (implements an interface to Firmata), see https://github.com/rwaldron/johnny-five/wiki/IO-Plugins. There's a template "Board-IO" to adapt.
@Gordon What about a IO Plugin for Espruino as a stretch goal for the forthcoming Pico++ Kickstarter? Well, I'm dreaming of a slightly bigger Pico with some serious sensors onboard ;-) -
-
Gorgeous. About control: Why not use a Wii Nunchuck? @Gordon made a perfect module for that ;-)

Looks amazing. Transparent wire http://www.radiokoelsch.de/images/product_images/original_images/pvc_lampenkabel_transparent_2-adrig.jpg would have been even nicer.
-
Thanks for the explanation, @DrAzzy. So I can use the require() mechanism for modularisation of my project into several files, too?
-
I bought modules with different I2C addresses than the Crius module. I could change the address in the ssd1306.js, but then I think I have to store this somewhere locally. But one can define only one modules location in WebIDE, so I have to store all modules locally.
Am I right? If not, how can I do this? Or would it be better to change the module with an address parameter in the .connect function?Sorry for this noob question, I'm new in event driven JavaScript. Be aware, more noob questions to come ;-)

Have a look at these NRF24L01 modules with PA and internal or external antenna: http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?catId=0&initiative_id=AS_20141215040106&SearchText=nrf24l01+pa

It really depends on what you want to do: point-to-point, base station, relay, broadcast, mesh etc. and the protocol to decide on. I'm still learning event driven Javascript, so I'm not the ideal person to do this, but if one of you guys (Gordon?) want to do it, have a look at this (Arduino, so +/- C) library: http://www.airspayce.com/mikem/arduino/RadioHead/. Great work, just translate ;-)

Perhaps this http://tinkerman.eldiariblau.net/tag/433-mhz-rf/ and the mentioned Arduino library https://code.google.com/p/rc-switch/ ?

Hi Rob
You need the JST PH series (2mm pitch). Probably you got the ZH or GH series, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JST_connector . -
This ones should fit (JST 2pin 2mm): http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Mini-Micro-JST-2-0mm-T-1-2-Pin-Connector-w-Wire-x-10-sets/1536712197.html
-
Why not use a 2x5 or bigger 1,27mm pitch pin header instead (see picture). So we can use this as a "pico mini extender". Minimum 2x5 because of GND and VCC (and/or 5V). One can solder the header on top, on the bottom or not at all (breadboarding). There are ribbon cable connectors available for this kind of pin headers. Probably we should go for more pins (2x7 is doable without problem) to acheive a "universal" extender. say at least a combination I2C, USART , SPI and GPIO (analog capable) should be there. Should be able to use I2C, SPI and USART in parallel.

Some English speaking people are working on it:
