Error: easybotics led-matrix doesn't work

General
1

Hello, I've install node-red recently thanks to the following script on my raspberry pi3 b+ :

bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/node-red/linux-installers/master/deb/update-nodejs-and-nodered)

node-red works well but I want to use it to control a led panel and the node " node-red-contrib-easybotics-led-matrix " doesn t work... I've install it with the manage palette.
When I try "easybotics-led-matrix nyan cat" flow, node-red stoped...
Here's the log:

Did you read the read me for the node about installing NR as root?

I ve uninstall rasbpian and restart everything from the beginning, the node is now installed but I don t understand a thing... The pannel display 2 lines of 2 pixels large, one blue and the other is red.
I don t know if the problem came from node-red or if it is something else.
Thank you for your reply :slight_smile:

Why did you reinstall raspbian??

Did you install node-red as root as the nodes directions tell you to?

And when you say you don’t understand a thing, what do you mean?

I have reinstall raspbian to be careful at everything I installed and where everything is.
Thank for your help, I've set node-red as root and follow the tutorials on the acmesystem's website, reboot the raspberry and that works well. Thank you for your time
