Sure, here are a number of things that come to mind: - All methods have asynchronous and synchronous forms (i2c has the synchronous form although it looks like it has the asynchronous form) - It offers more complete support for the SMBus protocols (quick command, send byte, receive byte, write byte/word, read byte/word, I2C block transaction (I2C block transaction are not part of the SMBus specification)) - It supports plain I2C (see methods i2cRead, i2cReadSync, i2cWrite, i2cWriteSync) - It offers runtime information about the functionality supported by the bus/adapter (like 'i2cdetect -F 1', see methods i2cFuncs and i2cFuncsSync, see example https://github.com/fivdi/i2c-bus/blob/master/example/i2cdetect.js) - One i2c-bus object can handle multiple devices - Because it supports the SMBus receive byte protocol (see methods receiveByte and receiveByteSync) it's possible to scan for devices (like 'i2cdetect -y -r 1', see example https://github.com/fivdi/i2c-bus/blob/master/example/i2cscan.js).
