After appearing to install i2c-bus, I can´t find the nodes even after turning the Rpi off then on. Any suggestions?
I have node.js v0.10.29 and npm v2.15.11 Here is the log: i@raspberrypi:~ $ cd .node-red pi@raspberrypi:~/.node-red $ npm install i2c-bus \

i2c-bus@1.2.0 install /home/pi/.node-red/node_modules/i2c-bus node-gyp rebuild

make: Entering directory '/home/pi/.node-red/node_modules/i2c-bus/build' CXX(target) Release/obj.target/i2c/src/i2c.o SOLINK_MODULE(target) Release/obj.target/i2c.node COPY Release/i2c.node make: Leaving directory '/home/pi/.node-red/node_modules/i2c-bus/build' i2c-bus@1.2.0 node_modules/i2c-bus ├── bindings@1.2.1 └── nan@2.5.1 pi@raspberrypi:~/.node-red $

I'm not sure I fully understand the issue here. Do you mean Node-RED nodes? If so, the i2c-bus module doesn't implement Node-RED nodes and I wouldn't expect it to result in Node-RED nodes appearing anywhere after it is installed. I'm afraid that I'm not familiar with Node-RED and not sure that I can help here.

i2c-bus is a fairly low-level package which allows devices on an I2C bus to be accessed. If I'm not mistaken Node-RED nodes are fairly high-level packages that provide high-level access to specific components. I can imagine a Node-RED node using i2c-bus internally but don't think that i2c-bus can be used directly in Node-RED. I may however be mistaken.

Fivdi, I think you nailed it. I am working in Node-RED which has some terminology in common. That´s how much a novice I am... This one is solved.
