Getting started with Johnny-Five and Raspi-IO

Now that our project folder is ready for dependencies, we'll start exploring the Johnny-Five and Raspi-IO documentation that'll help us create the projects in this book.

• The Johnny-Five website: http://johnny-five.io/
• The Raspi-IO GitHub README and wiki: https://github.com/nebrius/raspi-io

constRaspi=require('raspi-io');
