install sissue #4

Hi Markus! would appreciate any help you can provide.

Similar to the other user, I have experienced install issues. I have the latest version of the programs stated in the readme file (e.g. nodejs, Python3, etc.).

As you had noted in 2.7.2 readme file, there is no install.bat file but there is a setup.bat file. I get the following errors when trying to run in cmd prompt:

C:\Users\conta\Dropbox\My PC (LAPTOP-BIVJPMN7)\Documents\2.7.2>setup internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1127 return process.dlopen(module, path.toNamespacedPath(filename)); ^

Error: \?\C:\Users\conta\Dropbox\My PC\Documents\2.7.2\node_modules\usb\build\Release\usb_bindings.node is not a valid Win32 application. \?\C:\Users\conta\Dropbox\My PC\Documents\2.7.2\node_modules\usb\build\Release\usb_bindings.node at Object.Module._extensions..node (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1127:18) at Module.load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:933:32) at Function.Module._load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:774:14) at Module.require (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:957:19) at require (internal/modules/cjs/helpers.js:88:18) at bindings (C:\Users\conta\Dropbox\My PC\Documents\2.7.2\node_modules\bindings\bindings.js:112:48) at Object.

So, i found "tm-bt-led-master" that was linked somewhere in your documentation (i can't remember where). It does have the install.bat file. So tried to give that a go.

Here is what I get when in cmd prompt with admin access within the unzipped tm-bt-led-master folder: npm WARN prepare removing existing node_modules/ before installation npm ERR! code ENOENT npm ERR! syscall spawn git npm ERR! path git npm ERR! errno -4058 npm ERR! enoent Error while executing: npm ERR! enoent undefined ls-remote -h -t https://github.com/mplutka/noble.git npm ERR! enoent npm ERR! enoent npm ERR! enoent spawn git ENOENT npm ERR! enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file. npm ERR! enoent

I get the same set of errors when installing using "npm install" for the install.bat file.

Please help. thnx

Hi, you don‘t need install.bat if you download the prebuilt version from here: https://github.com/mplutka/tm-bt-led/releases/download/2.7.2/2.7.2.zip

just unzip and run setup.bat Please post the output if this still doesn’t work

Thanks Markus, getting the errors as follows when trying to run setup.bat from the unzipped 2.7.2 folder:

C:\Users\Public\Downloads>setup internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1127 return process.dlopen(module, path.toNamespacedPath(filename)); ^

You have most likely installed the 32bit version of nodejs. Please uninstall completely and use this one: https://nodejs.org/dist/v14.17.0/node-v14.17.0-x64.msi

SinisterY88 commented 3 years ago

worked like a charm. removed and reinstalled nodejs. Also changed the driver of the BT adapter using zadig before running setup which worked. The only thing is that I need some guidance to set my IP address for forza motorsport 7 so that the BT LED will get UDP info. I saw from the cmd window that your program is listening on 0.0.0.0 however when set to that in forza motorsport 7 the BT LED remains "Thru8stma" on the screen. I think input the IP of the laptop I'm running the game on, e.g. 10.0.0.57 but that didn't work either. Looking for any advice possible (BTW I did read the links you provided for FM7)- thanks Markus.

0.0.0.0 as listening IP means it listens on all available network devices. The IP inside the game must be set to the one of the Laptop/PC my software is running on. Maybe disable any running firewall. That could help. Also open a cmd window as administrator and enter the following command if you haven't done so already: CheckNetIsolation.exe LoopbackExempt -a -n=microsoft.apollobasegame_8wekyb3d8bbwe

SinisterY88 commented 3 years ago

Hi Markus, an update that I ran the command you noted as well as opened port 20127 in the firewall and guess what? FM7 worked! thanks for hanging in there with me. However I will open a separate issue I'm having for Race Room Experience which is a brand new download for me.
