Unable to install nodes of Modbus and RS485

General

Hi, everyone~

I have installed Node-RED 2.2.2 by using npm:

npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red

Here is the information when it started:

Welcome to Node-RED

17 Apr 14:54:51 - [info] Node-RED version: v2.2.2
17 Apr 14:54:51 - [info] Node.js version: v16.14.0
17 Apr 14:54:51 - [info] Linux 5.4.0-91-generic x64 LE
17 Apr 14:54:51 - [info] Loading palette nodes
17 Apr 14:54:51 - [info] Settings file : /home/ant/.node-red/settings.js
17 Apr 14:54:51 - [info] Context store : 'default' [module=memory]
17 Apr 14:54:51 - [info] User directory : /home/ant/.node-red

Then when I tried to install nodes of Modbus and RS485, I've got lots of errors and installation failed.

It looks like that "node-red-contrib-serial-modbus v0.11" and "node-red-contrib-serialport-rs485 v0.06" are both too old to use in "Node-RED 2.2.2".

So, is there any way to help me to install these two nodes successfully?

Or, are there any substitution nodes of RS485 and MODBUS that I could use?

Thanks :slight_smile:

Most of logs are like this:

Hi,
Are you on windows right?
Take a look at node-red-contrib-modbus here

https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-modbus

I have used it only with nodejs 14 lts, it should work with 16 too

Thanks for your reply~~

In fact I have tried and failed to install those two nodes both on linux and windows .

But , the link you post really help me to solve the MODBUS node problem. Thanks :smiling_face:

Now only the RS485 node need to be solved :kissing_smiling_eyes:
