I feel I have to ask. I am really not getting anywhere and am starting to clutch at straws to find out why it won't work now. Node: node-red-node-pi-neopixel I am installing it from the CLI and it is complaining that it can't find the required libraries. (Yes, I know...) I ran this command bef…

OK - I just tweaked the checklib test to include 3.9 so it shouldn't warn on default python 3 install an more. To test I flashed SD card with minimal bullseye.... booted configured network etc and applied latest updates. Ran the prereq Pimoroni neopixel install script as per readme, saying yes to a…

That too.... But I won't stop with just one. I'm going to try all combinations. In for a penny....

Seems the only 2 lines needed are the ones: hdmi_force_hotplug=1 hdmi_force_edid_audio = 1

Thanks @dceejay . But the question still kind of remains: why is it that when I was installing the node it was saying there ARE libraries missing?

If you remove those lines again do you still get the same error?

Well, I don't get the same.... ERROR. The LED's just don't work. The machine boots, everything else works. Just not the LEDs. So it would seem they are curtial (why can't I remember how to spell that?) (important) to the LEDs working. But I remember reading that those would be set by one of th…

So what did you do that made the libraries error go away?

AFAIK they haven't been resolved. The node is installed. I see it in the node list, and it works. But if those libraries aren't there or not.... I don't know. Because they aren't named either so it is also difficult to know.

he added these 5 lines as stated in post #1 hdmi_force_hotplug=1 hdmi_force_edid_audio = 1 hdmi_group=2 hdmi_mode=39 enable_uart=0 tho later stated these two lines may all that be needed hdmi_force_hotplug=1 hdmi_force_edid_audio = 1

But you just said that taking those out again does not cause the problem.

No... Those two lines are the ones that are needed. Without them the LEDs don't work. If the lines are in the config.txt file, the LEDs work.

Could someone please tell me if they can get this node installed and fully working?

indeed that is unlikely to work... and so will create that warning... Sure we can patch that
