"Houston, we have a problem!"  
I am using a barcode scanner that works like a keyboard. It worked fine, but after the Node-Red update, the "Pi Keyboard" went to the "Stopped" status (blinking with OK). The debug message is empty. For updating I used this script

> bash \<(curl -sL [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/node-red/linux-installers/master/deb/update-nodejs-and-nodered](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/node-red/linux-installers/master/deb/update-nodejs-and-nodered)) --confirm-pi --confirm-install --nodered-version=2.1.3

Who knows what the problem might be?

Do the other Pi nodes work?

Also, stop node-red and start it again in a terminal, and post the full output here please. When posting use the `</>` button at the top of the forum entry window and paste it in (not a screenshot please). To stop and start you can use  
`node-red-stop`  
`node-red-start`

And do you have the latest pi-gpio installed as well ? [node-red-node-pi-gpio (node) - Node-RED](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-node-pi-gpio)

The issue is temporarily resolved, installed the previous version of node-red-node-pi-gpio (v1.2.3).The problem is in node-red-node-pi-gpio version 2.0.0, it doesn't work with keyboard and mouse.  
node-red-node-pi-gpiov 1.2.3 works well with the new version of Node-Red (v2.1.3).  
Therefore, be careful when installing a new version of Node-Red, because by default it installs node-red-node-pi-gpio@latest (v2.0.0). It took me half a day to find the reason ))
