We hit a weird error(Error: Cannot find module ‘i2c-bus’
) even we have done" npm install i2c-bus", we have also checked npm list as follows:

$npm list|grep i2c-bus
├─┬ i2c-bus@3.2.0
│ ├─┬ i2c-bus@1.2.5
│ ├── i2c-bus@3.2.0 deduped
any advice would be appreciated.

Hi @joeyangx,

Did you run into any issue when you ran npm install i2c-bus? I see that the package corresponds with that command you ran https://www.npmjs.com/package/i2c-bus, which is what we want.

Might be an idea to remove the package and install it again. And when you install it, make sure you have an internet connection. Because, otherwise, it wouldn’t make any sense not to work.

Thank you!

our node.js code is as follows:

const SerialPort = require(‘serialport’);
const parsers = SerialPort.parsers;
const parser = new parsers.Readline({
delimiter: ‘\r\n’
});
const port = new SerialPort(’/dev/ttys0’, {
baudRate: 57600
});

Hi @joeyangx,

I guess starting with a fresh image of Raspbian For Robots would be a good thing to do. Again, on mine I can install it and use it just fine.

Thank you!
