The document provides instructions for setting up a Particle device and developing code for it using Node.js. It outlines claiming a device, running sample projects, loading firmware from VoodooSpark, installing the cylon-spark library to control GPIO pins from JavaScript, and lists additional resources. Key steps include using the particle-cli to set up a device, loading example code to blink an LED, and using cylon-spark and Node.js to control the device from code.

1. Particle + Node

2. Create Account + Log In
https://build.particle.io
$ npm install -g particle-cli

3. Claim Your Device
$ particle setup
** Grab device ID
http://build.particle.io/build
** Grab API token

4. Run a Sample Project
> Blink LED (or haptic motor, etc.)
> Blink LED over the Internet
> Photoresistor

5. Load VoodooSpark
Back to http://build.particle.io/build
Load code from http://voodoospark.me/
OR:
$ npm install -g spark-cli
$ spark cloud login
$ spark cloud flash SPARK_DEVICE_ID firmware/voodoospark.cpp
**Not tested with new CLI**

6. Install cylon-spark

● Use VoodooSpark instructions
● Save example code as “cascadia.js” (or w/e)
$ npm install cylon-gpio
$ node cascadia.js
