What OS is your virtual machine running ? You probably need build tools installed.

Hi

I'm having the same issue, it just refuses to install on a DietPi - Buster

Node-Red is Version 1.2.9

I have build essentials installed

build-essential is already the newest version (12.6).

Error log looks like this..

Installation of module node-red-contrib-streamdeck failed:

Do you have any suggestions as to what to try next?

Seems like an upstream package is deprecated, I will have a look soon !

Seems like an upstream package is deprecated, I will have a look soon !

That's fabulous, thank you so much.

If there is anything I can do to test, please let me know.

[natcl]

I updated the dependencies, can you try by pulling from this repo ? npm install -g natcl/node-red-contrib-streamdeck Let me know if it works, I'll update the package on npm then.

[natcl]

If that doesn't work, I just checked and node-hid doesn't seem to support node 15, please try with node 14 instead.

Hi

Thanks for looking into this so quickly.

If that doesn't work, I just checked and node-hid doesn't seem to support node 15, please try with node 14 instead.

I'm sorry, I have no idea what that mean.

hid - Human Interface Device?

and how do I know if it's using node15 or node14?

Okay, so what about this?

 node -v

So this website lists versions of Node

Sadly this seems to be an issue with node/npm on your computer and not the node itself. Perhaps look at these: https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/1236

I tried installing it on both arm and x86 linux and it works fine over here.

Right...

Thanks for helping me get this far.

At least I have something to go looking for now.

Sadly this seems to be an issue with node/npm on your computer and not the node itself. Perhaps look at these: nodejs/node-gyp#1236

I tried installing it on both arm and x86 linux and it works fine over here.

It looks like the script is trying to get into the folder for Node 4.15.5 which just doesn't exist on this machine.

I tried to install it and got a 404 error.

root@LiveStream:~# n 14.5.5
  installing : node-v14.5.5
curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404

  Error: download preflight failed for '14.5.5' (https://nodejs.org/dist/v14.5.5/node-v14.5.5-linux-arm64.tar.xz)

I've installed Node 4.15.5 but it doesn't seem to have installed the folder that is called during the script

cd /root/.cache/node-gyp/14.15.5
bash: cd: /root/.cache/node-gyp/14.15.5: No such file or directory

Likewise with the alternative folder

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/node-red-contrib-streamdeck/node_modules/node-hid/.node-gyp

The only thing I can think of is that I'm running DietPi, which doesn't use the standard install script for Node-RED.

I will try swapping to Ubuntu and see if that is any better / different.

Thanks for your help.

Hi

I have seen that you have updated something to make your StreamDeck node now at version 1.0.2

This wasn't available from my palette manager, so I have updated Node-RED to V1.2.9

Trying to install your node from the palette manager failed, so I tried the global install again, but got the follow error again.

As per the last message, I will try to run a Ubuntu image on this Odroid C2 and see what happens.

Thanks in advance for your support and efforts.

As you say that it is working fine with ARM and x86 for you, would you be kind enough to elaborate on which systems these are on? For example, I'm trying to run this on a HardKernel Odroid C2 which uses a Amlogic S905 (ARM® Cortex®-A53(ARMv8) 1.5Ghz quad core CPU), with 2Gbyte DDR3 SDRAM and ARM Mali™-450 MP3 GPU (OpenGL ES 2.0/1.1 for Linux and Android), running DietPi v6.34.3

Is pkg-config actually installed? apt install pkg-config

And/or, since it looks for the libusb-1.0 package: apt install libusb-1.0-0

But note the following:

• On previous DietPi versions, we installed Node-RED as global Node module.
• But it runs with the unprivileged service user nodered, which means that in cannot install global modules itself, but those are installed instead as local modules into the service's working directory /mnt/dietpi_userdata/node-red.
• Usually global and local modules work fine together, but when first attempting to install a Node-RED plugin via web interface (as service user) and then via console as root, you're installing two different instances of that module.

With recent DietPi v7.0 release, we switched the Node-RED install to be a local one right from the start. So all initially installed modules are located at /mnt/dietpi_userdata/node-red, giving the service user (hence web interface) full control over the pre-installed core modules as well, i.e. it can update and uninstall those. This doesn't affect existing installs, just reinstalls and fresh installs for Node-RED through our dietpi-software tool.

Consequently, this means that you should do the following when installing Node-RED plugins:

cd /mnt/dietpi_userdata/node-red
sudo -u nodered npm i natcl/node-red-contrib-streamdeck

Again, from all I know a global module can be used by the web interface just as good, but it cannot update or uninstall it, e.g. via the palette manager.

Is pkg-config actually installed? apt install pkg-config

yes, that is installed

But WOW... 😄

What a difference that apt install libusb-1.0-0 made to the install

root@LiveStream:/dev# npm install -g node-red-contrib-streamdeck
npm WARN deprecated har-validator@5.1.5: this library is no longer supported

I now have the two StreamDeck nodes in the palette

I've just got to work out what to do with them,,,,

@MichaIng @natcl Thank you gentlemen 😄

[MichaIng]

Great! The readme seems to explain those quite well: https://github.com/natcl/node-red-contrib-streamdeck#usage

Just to verify that it works as local module as well, does the following work fine as well?

cd /mnt/dietpi_userdata/node-red
sudo -u nodered npm i node-red-contrib-streamdeck

The Node-RED instance will then use the local instance, hence theoretically the global one could be uninstalled:

npm r -g node-red-contrib-streamdeck

Generally I would recommend to use the Node-RED web UI palette manager to search and install plugins/modules, which guarantees it can manage them as intended 🙂.

[natcl]

I'll update the readme to make it clear libusb is needed !

[MichaIng]

On Debian and Ubuntu, the package is btw called libusb-1.0-0 with the trailing -0. Even on light DietPi images, it is actually pre-installed together with usbutils, but good to be explicit with dependencies 🙂.

@MDAR the library was sufficient, the development headers libusb-1.0-0-dev were not required right?

Thanks for taking so much of an interest and providing this support.

I can confirm that all I needed to do was to run apt install libusb-1.0-0 before tryuing to install the nodes.

Am I brave enough to remove it and try from the palette manager.....

No. I don't think I am..

But only becuase of that golden rule... "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

It's working now, so all I need to do is work out all the combinations for the out node to get pretty pictures and changing colours.

@natcl

Could you make a point in the ReadMe that you have gone to the trouble of making a great example flow?

(I only found it because I went looking before asking....)

[natcl]

Good idea I’ll put a screenshot !

Yeah, make it a BIG picture for people like me who miss the obvious.

I've had some fun playing with your node already, so thank you so much.

My next step is working out how to correctly size images for buttons and the whole panel, but so far... it's great.

@natcl Thank you so much for making this all possible

[MDAR]

Slightly off topic, but if anyone is following this thread this might be useful.

According to Elgato support, the button image resolution is 72px by 72px

https://help.elgato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360028237271-Elgato-Stream-Deck-Customizing-Key-Icons#:~:text=You%20can%20configure%20your%20actions,Use%2072%20x%2072%20pixels%20.

There is mention of GIF support, so I'll experiment to see if I can host small gifs on my machine and load them into the StreamDeck

and in a hunt for information about the whole panel image size, I found this that suggests there is a 16PX gap between buttons, if I want a quick and dirty way to load one image as a setup

Hehe Nice ! glad you are enjoying it :) For GIFs it doesn't support it natively but it should be possible to use a library that supports GIFs and then send raw frames to the keys.

I'm tempted to pop in a new eMMC card and start from a fresh slate, unless you have a trick up your sleeve?

FYI

The status of node-red comes back as

Looks like npm is broken somehow. Did you check for file system errors?

dmesg -l emerg,alert,crit,err

If nothing related pops up there, try to reinstall Node:

dietpi-software reinstall 9

[MDAR]

dietpi-software reinstall 9

Thanks Michal

That did the trick.
