2016-03-27 Bonescript and node-red are working great out of the box, very 
nice!  But it seems the START.htm link target ( 
http://192.168.7.2/bone101/Support/bone101/ ) isn't working.  The page 
comes up but the Navigation Sidebar doesn't work and none of the 
Interactive Guide examples work (their buttons are all grayed out).  These 
interactive guide examples all worked in the earlier images I'd tried 
assuming the underlying Bonscript functions weren't broken (analogWrite() 
particularly comes to mind).

Its really nice to have the Bonescript functions I've tested: analogRead(), 
analogWrite(), digitalWrite(), digitalRead(), and attachInterrupt()  all 
work without spurious error messages.  Only issue I've had so far is the 
default A/D pin used in the analog.js example seemed unavailable on my BBG, 
but editing  it to P9_39 and saving  fixed the issue.

Having node-red running on boot is nice as instructions for getting it to 
start automatically on boot with earlier versions seemed convoluted enough 
that I just ignored it so I could get started, as I don't reboot the 
Beaglebone very often.


Next I'm going to npm install the node-red-node-beaglebone and johnny-five 
beaglebone-io nodes and see how it goes.  Hopefully these are not mutually 
exclusive!


If the START.htm links worked, I'd consider this to be the best starting 
point for newbies since the final Angstrom release!   Angstrom was 
 limited, but what little documentation existed seemed correct and 
everything linked off the START.htm page worked as far as I can remember 
(not that I did all that much with it back then).  So far I'm liking this a 
lot better than the "latest" 2016-01-24 from beagleboard.org

Also, so far I've had no USB gadget start-up weirdness with my BBG which 
had been a crap shoot with most earlier images, often needed two or three 
board restarts to be active.

Nice job!
