NPM Start Error

[gambler2841]

Hi,

I am getting errors while trying to connect to the pool equipment. I have had another Raspberri Pi connected previously,, but it died on me and now I'm starting over with a new Pi. It's been well over a year since I did it last time, so needless to say I'm rusty. Here is the error I'm getting when I run npm start&:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

These are Typescript compile errors. This might be one of three things...

1. You are not on the right version of Node. Run node -v and see what version you are on. v14 is ideal right now.
2. Did you install the node modules with npm i after you cloned the repo?
3. You may have some mismatched files somehow.

If you want to see a full set of directions for setting up the Pi you can follow here (there are some extra components installed but the main concept is solid).

You are safe to completely blow away the nodejs-poolController directory and follow steps 3-9 again.

So I started over from steps 3-9 like you suggested. Here's what I got when I tried to install the correct versions of Node-Red and Node.js:

My current version of Node is v16.15.0. Should I downgrade to v14?

Yes node v14 is best. You also don't need node-red for this app. You can skip any steps related to that.
