      @crowimu Last thought - after some googeling…
      Axled (the author has a thread about his module.
      In one of his posting he stated
      “rotation and click (Button press) uses the same library (onOff).”.

      “node_modules/onoff/onoff” is part of your error-listing.

      So I can imagine you need this onoff -library to read the GPIO-output.
      Further research on this let me assume that onoff in some kind is associated to node.js (@sdetweil for sure knows more on this than me…).

      At least one onoff library in this context is this one - but I’m not sure if this is the right one.
      May you give it a try…

      edit: I’ve just checked - on my own mirror there is NO onoff directory in “MagicMirror/node_modules/”

      Good luck.
      Ralf

        @crowimu Found in completely different context another hint to onoff - also related to GPIO (in concrete a GPIO related implemetation of a rotary decoder).
        There was a suggestion

        npm install --save onoff@6.0.0
        

        I currently only „assume“ that @6.0.0 is the version - cause the cited post is from 2021 there could be a new version.
        A quick google delivers this page and this one stated

        npm install onoff
        

        Will do the trick…

        Good luck.
        Ralf

          @rkorell Thank you and all others for the hints, however up to now I did not manage to get the ‘onoff’ and the MMM-Navigate module workingon my system.
          I have recompiled onoff, installed it globally, changed the node version.
          Nothing helped yet :(

          I have started to create a simple module for my needs to control some fuctions with a rotary encoder,

          It’s early stage, please wish me luck. :)

            very unfortunate!

            cross the fingers & good luck for you…

              @crowimu - Just a quick question: Have you considered to use a newer version of a Pi? A 4B or even 5?
              Pi2 is somewhat old - may there is a kind of a root cause?

              Regards,
              Ralf

                @rkorell Hi Ralf,
                I think the quadcore RPi2 is quite sufficient for a Magic Mirror, but I’ve also tested it on a RPi3 with the same results.
                I don’t like the power consumption of RPi4 and 5 and I also don’t like to add cooling fans to an SBC.
                So up to now I have always used RPi Zero / Zero2 / RPi 1/2 and 3 smoothly for my projects. :)

                  @rkorell finally I got it solved :)

                  The issue is really the GPIO numbering, I found this SO thread:
                  https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78173749/use-raspberry-pi-4-gpio-with-node-js
                  It is also valid for Pi3 and Pi2

                  cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio
                  
                  gpiochip0: GPIOs 512-565, parent: platform/3f200000.gpio, pinctrl-bcm2835:
                   gpio-512 (ID_SDA              )
                   gpio-513 (ID_SCL              )
                   gpio-514 (GPIO2               )
                   gpio-515 (GPIO3               )
                   gpio-516 (GPIO4               )
                   gpio-517 (GPIO5               )
                   gpio-518 (GPIO6               )
                   gpio-519 (GPIO7               |spi0 CS1            ) out hi ACTIVE LOW
                   gpio-520 (GPIO8               |spi0 CS0            ) out hi ACTIVE LOW
                   gpio-521 (GPIO9               )
                   gpio-522 (GPIO10              )
                   gpio-523 (GPIO11              )
                   gpio-524 (GPIO12              )
                   gpio-525 (GPIO13              )
                   gpio-526 (GPIO14              )
                   gpio-527 (GPIO15              )
                   gpio-528 (GPIO16              )
                   gpio-529 (GPIO17              |sysfs               ) in  hi IRQ
                   gpio-530 (GPIO18              )
                   gpio-531 (GPIO19              )
                   gpio-532 (GPIO20              )
                   gpio-533 (GPIO21              )
                   gpio-534 (GPIO22              |sysfs               ) in  hi IRQ
                   gpio-535 (GPIO23              )
                   gpio-536 (GPIO24              )
                   gpio-537 (GPIO25              )
                   gpio-538 (GPIO26              )
                   gpio-539 (GPIO27              |sysfs               ) in  hi IRQ
                  
                  

                  I needed to set up the numbers according to the output
                  e.g. Pin27 is 539 in the MMM-Navigate config.
                  Now everything works so far as expected, thank you all for your help!

                    @crowimu COOL!
                    congratulations!

                    For me the “confusing” part was the fact that INSTALL doesn’t work…
                    Installing should NOT check GPIO pinouts …

                    Really great that you worked this out!

                    Warmest regards,
                    Ralf

                      A Pi4 or a Pi5 had solved this as well :-)

                        @rkorell because MagicMirror is started with the electron binary, the compiled module code must match the engine version

                        electron rebuild does that.

                        tricky problem if not running under electron
                        then npm rebuild works for nodejs engine match
