How to install and use "node-red-contrib-mcp23017"

Hello everyone,

I would like to know how to install the node-red-contrib-mcp23017 node

node-red-contrib-mcp23017 (node) - Node-RED
but I only get error messages when I try to install it.

I don't understand how to install the extra modules,

GitHub - kaihenzler/node-mcp23017: Node.js library for the I2C I/O Expander MCP23017 on a Raspberry Pi

So what are the error messages? Please cut and paste them here...

What operating system are you doing this on? Is it a "lite" version?

Could you try installing the following

sudo apt-get install build-essential

and then retry

Raspbian V12.3

Did you follow the instructions in the README at https://github.com/kaihenzler/node-mcp23017 and install that node?

Hello,

I have installed it, or tried to install it, and the folders shown in the screenshot have been added. I think I did something wrong here and the errors come from it.

Does someone have experience with adding this node and usage of the MCP23017 IC with Nod-Red?, or can someone explain/try how to install it? I saw on other websites that more people were having problems installing this node.

You have installed it in the wrong place. When you install nodes from the command line you should first go to the .node-red folder.

cd .node-red
npm install ......

[Edit]
Or if you are not in the users home folder then

cd ~/.node-red
npm install .....

Are you doing this on a Pi?

Did you follow the node-mcp23017 README and

  • change the /etc/modules
  • Load kernel module
  • Make device writable
    ??

How can I save the added data in these 2 commands?

Add these two lines
i2c-bcm2708
i2c-dev

$ sudo vi /etc/modprobe.d/raspi-blacklist.conf

Comment out blacklist i2c-bcm2708

#blacklist i2c-bcm2708

I am having problems setting up pins as inputs on a 32 chan board. At first I could only get the first 8. Then I found this thread and went through all off the above. Now I can get all 16 on chip one (addressed 0x20). I am not able to get any of the inputs to recognize/see state change from chip 2 (addressed 0x22). Is there some special trick I am missing?
Chip 1

When I run d i2cdetect -y 1 it only shows 0x20. Both chips are on the same board.

What steps am I missing?

Hi,
I'm also struggling to install node-mcp23017 on raspbian, could anyone point me to the right versions of nodejs, nodered and npm, to get past those errors ?
