var net = require('net');
var five = require('johnny-five');
var firmata = require('firmata');

var options = {
  host: '192.168.2.5',  //whatever host
  port: 48879  //some port
};


var client = net.connect(options, function() { //'connect' listener
  console.log('connected to server!');
  
  var socketClient = this;

  //we can use the socketClient instead of a serial port as our transport
  var io = new firmata.Board(socketClient);

  io.once('ready', function(){

    io.isReady = true;

    var board = new five.Board({io: io, repl: true});

      //Full Johnny-Five support here:

      var led = new five.Led(7);
      led.blink();

    });
