I have seen that there is another ticket open for node 13.9.0, but I thought it was worth opening a new ticket for the stable version of node. It starts with the i2c-bus version. That does not work. I have tried forking ang changing the version to 5.1.0, but that opens a whole new can of worms. Is there any way to get this working? What version of node does it work on?

edit:
I have tried your suggestion from the other ticket and installed using:
npm install github:jcane86/motor-hat#greenkeeper/i2c-bus-2.0.0
and that command finishes successfully, but the node_modules/motor-hat directory only contains The license, readme.md and package.json at that point.

npm list:

motor@1.0.0 /home/pi/node-projects/motor
└─┬ motor-hat@1.0.0-semanticrelease (github:jcane86/motor-hat#f64a863e6ad02a19f731df489c3b7bb15f54ba8e)

I also tried going into that directory and running npm install and after that npm run build. The error that showed up was this:

Any ideas?

I manually copied the lib directory to the node_modules/motor-hat directory, together with the test directory and now npm run build completes successfully.
I tried running your the basic usage script and it showed me this:

/home/pi/node-projects/motor/node_modules/motor-hat/node_modules/i2c-bus/i2c-bus.js:423
    i2c.writeByteSync(peripheralSync(this, addr), cmd, byte);
        ^

}

That might be ok, since I do not actually have a motor hat attached to my pi. As soon as I get this going, I will try and create a node-red implementation using your module.

awesome, thanks!

hi @nrbrt , just thought I'd give a quick update.

Sorry I haven't been able to cut the new release yet, but I'm working on it. Should be out by this weekend for sure.

Cheers!

@nrbrt , I've just published v2.0.10 of motor-hat, which should solve your initial problem. If you install directly from npm now it should work for you (as long as you have the motor hat connected).

I'll close this issue for now, feel free to reopen if you're still having problems with this.

Cheers
