Using https://github.com/nebrius/raspi-gpio on a Raspberry Pi to control digital pin states at 2 kHz from node. In this example a switch was placed on pin 2 and an led was hooked up to pin 0. When the switch (yellow trace) was flipped, the led turned on (blue trace) within 500 us

switch-log.js

console.log('Hello Pi')

var repeats = process.argv[3]

var filename = path.basename(process.argv[1], '.js')
var ws = fs.createWriteStream('./logs/' + filename + '-' + interval + '-' + repeats +'.log' )

var iteration = 0

raspi.init(function() {
  obj = {
    'board': true,
    'date': new Date(),
    'time': now().toFixed(3)
  }
  console.log(JSON.stringify(obj))
//  ws.write(JSON.stringify(obj))

  var input = new gpio.DigitalInput(2)
  var output = new gpio.DigitalOutput(0)

  var curTime = 0
  var prevTime = 0
