Hi there, I'm new to nodered and was just starting out, I am trying to use NodeRed to receive data from a ESP8266 connected to a QMC5883L (Magnetic compass sensor).
I am unsure of what issue but when I tried to run " npm install --save nodejs-qmc5883l " I will get and error. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
npm install --save nodejs-qmc5883l
npm WARN read-shrinkwrap This version of npm is compatible with lockfileVersion@1, but package-lock.json was generated for lockfileVersion@2. I'll try to do my best with it!
