Hi,

I have worked with various different development platforms before, though 
mostly in C/C++, so a lot of the Bonescript/Node.js stuff is very new to 
me, and I am having some trouble with some very simple tasks...

Recently I was trying to take in push button switches and in an effort to 
build a better understanding, after looking at the demos, I decided to play 
around on my own.  the following code works fine:

var b = require('bonescript');


var inputPin = "P8_19";
var ledPin = ["USR3", "USR2", "USR1", "USR0"];
var mydelay = 100;


console.log('Please press the button to flash the LEDs');
b.pinMode(inputPin, b.INPUT);
b.pinMode(ledPin[0], b.OUTPUT);
b.pinMode(ledPin[1], b.OUTPUT);
b.pinMode(ledPin[2], b.OUTPUT);
b.pinMode(ledPin[3], b.OUTPUT);
setInterval(switchRead, 100);


function switchRead(x) {
    b.digitalRead(inputPin, setLED);
}


function setLED(x) {
    b.digitalWrite(ledPin[0], x.value);
    b.digitalWrite(ledPin[1], x.value);
    b.digitalWrite(ledPin[2], x.value);
    b.digitalWrite(ledPin[3], x.value);
}

But the following code (change the inputPin to P8_4) will not work...

var b = require('bonescript');


var inputPin = "P8_4";
var ledPin = ["USR3", "USR2", "USR1", "USR0"];
var mydelay = 100;


console.log('Please press the button to flash the LEDs');
b.pinMode(inputPin, b.INPUT);
b.pinMode(ledPin[0], b.OUTPUT);
b.pinMode(ledPin[1], b.OUTPUT);
b.pinMode(ledPin[2], b.OUTPUT);
b.pinMode(ledPin[3], b.OUTPUT);
setInterval(switchRead, 100);


function switchRead(x) {
    b.digitalRead(inputPin, setLED);
}


function setLED(x) {
    b.digitalWrite(ledPin[0], x.value);
    b.digitalWrite(ledPin[1], x.value);
    b.digitalWrite(ledPin[2], x.value);
    b.digitalWrite(ledPin[3], x.value);
}

and results in the following message:

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/bonescript/my.js:57

[Process stopped]

Is there another way to address this GPIO pin?  The pinout I have for the 
header shows this as GPIO_39, so I see no reason it shouldn't work the 
same...
