Outputs not working correctly on current Node-Red #4

Closed Admiraldr closed 1 year ago

I installed node-red-contrib-piface-digital on a new RaspberryPiOS (Bullseye) on the most recent Node Red (3.0.2) . All the Outputs work fine as far as I can see.

There is an issue with the inputs: If I press the first button, all 4 Inputs go on and stay on. Pressing the other buttons has no effect.

Testing the input buttons from commandline with python (presslights.py from pifacedigitalio) works fine, so I guess it's not the hardware.

Thank you for reporting the defect. Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce it myself, as I do not own a piface. I developed the node a few years ago for someone else on the iobroker forum.

As far as I can see from the error description, the error is not in the node-red node itself, but in the underlying library.

The library is https://github.com/tualo/node-pifacedigital. When installing the node-red-node, the latest version of this library is automatically installed by npm.

The following defect exists for this library, which should correspond to this error: https://github.com/tualo/node-pifacedigital/issues/11

If the error is corrected there, this node should also work correctly again.

Thanks for the answer.

Yes, this is exactly the behaviour I am experiencing. I will try to follow up with the defect in the other library.
