Waiting for missing types to be registered:

[James]

hi

I'm new to node red and require certain types to be installed. Even after I went through the instruction and attempted to install the right nodes it still shows that they are missing.

Welcome to Node-RED

If anyone could help would really appreciated 

thanks

Have you installed this on a MacBook? If so you won’t get the GPOI because it is (I believe) Raspberry Pi specific. not sure about the nodebot - what nodes are you using?

Which directory were you in when you installed the nodebot node ? You must be in your Node-RED user directory. Usually this is ~/.node-red

[James]

Yes I've installed all the packages in the node red directory on my MacBook but still it seems to not register those particular types. Is there any extra packages I should be installing? 

[Colin Law]

From the .node-red directory run
npm list nodebot
and see what it says. Also for the node-red-contrib-gpio if that is
the gpio node you are using.

​good spot.. that is the node. Are there any errors when you run the install ? 

I just ran

      cd ~/.node-red

   npm i node-red-contrib-gpio

On my Mac with no problem

[Mark Setrem]

If you managed to install them without any errors and the nodes won't work, you probably need to open an issue on the GitHub site for those nodes.

Colin I tried listing nodebot and this is what I got:

/Users/bavan/.node-red

└── (empty)

Dave I also did the node-red-contrib-gpio and I'm getting a different message when I now start node red:

Is this because I have to install a package to find the particular port? Because I have ardiuno connected.

That looks like it is trying to work - it is trying to open a serial port - which is the default...  (though it would imply you already had configured it once as the config node is there...). Should be nothing left to install.

Are the nodes actually there now (refresh the browser). ?

[James]

Thanks Dave it does show the GPIO input/output now when I refresh the page. How do I go about getting it to connect with the Arduino if its running on the default port?

Make sure you have firmata loaded on arduino. Don't run the ide at same time as node-red. Read the node-red-contrib-gpio docs.
