Maybe you can help with this:

pi@raspberrypi:~/consultDash $ npm start

hello-world@ start /home/pi/consultDash node server.js

/home/pi/consultDash/server.js:10 var sp = new SerialPort('/dev/ttyUSB0', { baudrate: 9600 }); ^

Hello, just realized that I did not specify the version of node that is required and if the version is too new the serialport package will not work. Try downgrading your node version to v5.12 and the serialport package should work
