On trying the below:

sudo npm install --global busylight

i get the following error message:

sebastian@sftp520-linux:~$ sudo npm install --global busylight [sudo] Passwort für sebastian: \

I even tried to install node-hid globaly before installing busylight, but that did not fixed it.

Hi.

The error seems to be related to node-hid. Did you follow the compile and install description for node-hid on linux? You can find them here: https://github.com/node-hid/node-hid#compiling-from-source

Ah sorry. It seems node-hid made some important updates, so i updated the version to 0.5.1 which i think might solve your issue.

It's been published to npm now, so try to do an npm install again.

Let me know if it works for you since i don't have Ubuntu to test on myself right here.. Thanks.

Thanks for your awesome fast reaction for a holiday :). I tried to install it and it's working now.

Thank you and have a nice weekend.
