Just thought I would share this, in case anyone had a use for it.

It's a promise oriented library for the OLED display. I picked up a display recently and I wanted to start writing some stuff in JS, but I couldn't find any wrapper libraries for it yet. Right now, it just wraps the oled-exp executable with promises, but I plan on adding some higher level functionality so you can do things like write sentences that don't wrap and have the screen scroll up as you write.

Thanks for the help guys. I don't know what the issue was, or why they were read only, but running oupgrade (actually oupgrade -f) and rebooting fixed the issue. I was able to use that wiki that Kit linked to set up the USB storage as well.

Just got my onion in the mail and did a few simple GPIO python programs to test things out. I noticed that / (and /root) are mounted as r/o, and the only thing with enough space to actually use is /tmp, which doesn't seem to be persisted across reboots. I've been mounting usb devices to /tmp/sda1 instead of /mnt because /mnt is in a r/o partition as well.

What was the intention here? I would love to actually make a user and not log in as root all the time, but the common ways of making users (adduser, useradd) don't seem to be available. Its great that there is a nodejs package now, but I can't install it because I don't have enough space in the partition that it installs to.
