Hi, I'm learning node red  
I get this error message when deploying.  
I don't know how to solve it.  
I am using Node red V2.1.4 on my raspberry and I can't see where to select the node type.

Welcome to the forum @taj2.

Pin 17 is the 3.3V power pin. Only the pins marked in green should be used for GPIO.

Isn't that referring to GPIO17 - Pin 11?

Has this ever worked for you or have you only just tried using the GPIO?

Did you install node-red according to these instructions? - [Running on Raspberry Pi : Node-RED](https://nodered.org/docs/getting-started/raspberrypi)

If so then please stop node red and restart it in a terminal using  
`node-red-stop`  
`node-red-start`  
and copy/paste the full output here (not screenshot). When pasting use the `</>` button at the top of the forum entry window.
