Does this work with the Brickpi3?

[ppinto]

I tried setting this up on a brickpi3, and a brickpi seems to work on the brickpi but get's this error on the brickpi3

root@dpcbot03:~/jscode# node bot1.js
rx Timeout

Error: timed out

here's the code
var brickpi = require('brickpi-raspberry');
.
var robot = new brickpi.BrickPi();
var motorA = new brickpi.Motor({port: brickpi.PORTS.MA, name: 'motorA'});
var motorB = new brickpi.Motor({port: brickpi.PORTS.MB, name: 'motorB'});
.
robot.addMotor(motorA).addMotor(motorB).setup();
.
robot.on('ready', function() {
motorA.resetPosition();
motorB.resetPosition();
robot.run();
.
motorA.start(100).moveTo(5000, function(err) {
// called when motorA has reached 5000 ticks (2500 degrees in rotation).
});
});
.
setTimeout(function() {
motorB.start(50);
}, 3000);
.
setTimeout(function() {
motorB.stop();
}, 5000);
.
setTimeout(function() {
robot.stop();
}, 10000);

FeelingPlayed? What the hell does that mean? I coded the module 2-3 years ago. I spent about a week coding it. Free of charge. This is volunteering work. And you come and you complain? And you have never committed anything yourself? I don't even have a BrickPi anymore let alone a Brickpi3. Why don't you pull the code, spend a couple of days updating it for BrickPi3 and submit it.

lmclupr and fogbridgegit,

I was trying to get this to work with Node Red, on a Brickpi 3. I was able to find a workaround sending messages to Python from Node Red eliminating the need for the NodeJS interface, After doing some research the Brickpi 3 had rewritten the entire driver interface and only provides stubs for python. This will not work without a complete rewrite - and I do not believe they have published the interface as they have in the past.

fogbridgegit - no reason to be snarky, this is not Youtube and people here are just trying to help. If you want to be a maker then make -- don't break

Good luck
