MMM-usonic Problems

[sgarg15]

@sdetweil
Any ideas?

[sdetweil]

@sgarg15 maybe can look tomorrow, not home now

@sdetweil that module (mmm-usonic) is not for magic mirror, but a library for a potential module to use to talk to the hardware…

sadly has same labeling and same verbiage (module)

he wrote MMM-Swipe, which uses his library (mmm-usonic)

@sgarg15 to fix the electron rebuild problem,

the package.json file in MMM-Swipe and change

this

    "postinstall": "node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild -e ../../node_modules/electron-prebuilt"

to this

    "postinstall": "node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild"

@sdetweil So the install worked properly but then when i ran sudo npm start it gave this error

[1580:0329/130746.224199:FATAL:electron_main_delegate.cc(211)] Running as root without --no-sandbox is not supported. See https://crbug.com/638180.

Any idea what that means?

[sdetweil]

@sgarg15 what version of electron are u running?

[sdetweil]

@sgarg15 do NOT use sudo, just npm start

[sgarg15]

@sdetweil I am pretty sure i updated the electron yesterday using npm install --save-dev electron@latest

[sdetweil]

@sgarg15 do not use sudo

[sgarg15]

@sdetweil Oh ok i was just following the instruction, so i used npm start and now it has another error
