RaspberryPi issue #1841
Description
I'm using Raspberry Pi 4B.
code:
var five = require("johnny-five");
var board = new five.Board();
board.on("ready", function() {
console.log('Ready!');
});Error:

SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier
at Object.<anonymous> (/home/user/Desktop/node_modules/johnny-five/lib/repl.js:2:14)
As i was testing the issue, error is displayed in the first line (var five = require("johnny-five");).

I have no issues with my Pi 400s.
But the provided error code looks more like a broken source file than an issue with Johnny-Five. It should be impossible for a Johnny-Five error to produce a

I'd try
rm -rf node_modules && npm install.lbineau commentedon Mar 29, 2024
In addition you can try to install the main branch instead of npm (npm last update is 3years ago, while github is 1year ago).

But the Release version number here matches the one at
npm: 2.1.0I think @johnny-five would update on npm too, if anything would change.
IMHO this issue can be closed.

@scottgonzalez I take it back. I see now that Serial has been updated in 2023, but no new release has been presented.
So you are right, the source downloaded directly from here (and not from "release" page) is newer than the one on npm.
Maybe we should ask to make a new
2.2.20250201release ?(it is always a good practice to include a date in the numbering)

I wouldn't hold your breath for a release. I gave up waiting for one a long time ago and started using my own fork (also forked
firmatato use an updatedserialportwhich gets pulled intojohnny-five). I point to the tip of https://github.com/scottgonzalez/johnny-five/tree/blue-owl (currently using"johnny-five": "scottgonzalez/johnny-five#f548f9aed5b1992cb8f847e95b5a4583f952fc73"as my dependency) for my projects.As for using a date as a patch version, that is definitely not a good practice. If you want to include a date in the version, it should be in the build metadata, e.g.,
2.2.0+20250201, but I personally would not recommend that either.@dtex can you close this issue?

I should ping @rwaldron. I think he believes I can publish releases at npm, but that's the one privilege I don't have.

@scottgonzalez Actually my real goal is to find a stable Node-Red module, that would properly handle Firmata.
(Currently I'm using RPi-Pico boards with Configurable-Firmata firmware on them.)
The Node-Red's built-in module called: 35-aruino, based on Firmata-io, can not properly handle:
The whole Arduino module is freezing down. I've checked the codebase of those files, and I think the main problem is:
serial.on('error')...present,So I thought what if Johnny-five can handle it better? (Was big fan of the movie as a child 🤖 .)
