Need "correct" version of node-libgpiod ....

sdetweil

so, if, in the module folder you do

npm rebuild

it will fix the version to the standalone node engine

if you do

electron-rebuild

it should fix the version to the electron embedded node engine

if the engine is the same, only one of those is required

@sdetweil OK; thanks.
I will stop to handle these mismatches.
Will try to get the MM-Module runnable .
Console/terminal runs with node may not be necessary …
Thanks anyway for your kind support!

@sdetweil Dear Sam,
just FYI: I’ve just identified that my main problem is NOT the version mismatch but a major change in node-libgpiod’s handling of GPIO-ressources.
This was the main reason for mal-function of PIR sensor detection. “Version” was a side effect, not root-cause.
I’m nearly done with this and it seems that it will work as intended…

Thanks again for your support!

Regards,
Ralf

@rkorell awesome. yes gpio changes are a pain!!

rkorell

@sdetweil yes, indeed …

schlomm

@rkorell Do have any any resources for your current development? I’m also stucking at a similar problem handling GPIO for buttons using a Raspberry Pi 5.
Do you have a Github Repository?

rkorell

@schlomm I’m absolute beginner …
Had HEAVILY used AI to get this done and have recycled a LOT.

GPIO part is from old (discontinued) module MMM-Pir from Bugsounet.
This is reflected in pirLib.js - sliightly modified for my purposes.

I do have a repository - pushed literally minutes ago …
Feel free to have a look.

Buttons should work with some modification. Essentiall for my purposes I simply query state of a single GPIO pin - to which a PIR sensor is connected. Code must be enhanced to handle more than one pin - if you are talking about “butons” - which signals plural…

As mentioned such modification should be doable with AI as well.

[ EDIT : My system is a raspi5 / bookworm as well - this is main reason for some difficulties. Some procedures simply doesn’t work anymore with new libraries and I had to change implementation…]

Good luck!
Warm regards,
Ralf

@sdetweil Dear Sam,
I was able to get this done - to my big surprise …
As announced, I just have pushed it to git and will post a corresponding message tomorrow.
Do I get it right that it is recommended to edit the modules page as well?
And the 3rd Party Modules page then will populate by itself, right?
Thanks!

Warmest regards,
Ralf

sdetweil

@rkorell yes, you edit the wiki page, and then the 3rd party list will pick up those changes on the next refresh (once a day)

rkorell

@sdetweil thx!
