Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.5: Hardware revision is not supported

[dimzeta]

I am running successfully my node app on Raspberry 3 and Raspberry Pi 4 Rev 1.4, but I have this error on Raspberry Pi 4 Rev 1.5:

/var/app/node_modules/rpi-ws281x-native/lib/ws281x-native.js:160
  bindings.init();
           ^

I followed the steps from #127 and now it is working well.

I didn't have to use @gbkwiatt's fork, so I just did:

git clone https://github.com/jgarff/rpi_ws281x.git
rm -rf /var/app/node_modules/rpi-ws281x-native/src/rpi_ws281x
cp -r rpi_ws281x /var/app/node_modules/rpi-ws281x-native/src
cd /var/app/node_modules/rpi-ws281x-native
sudo node-gyp rebuild

Is there an ETA for a fix to this issue? The solution from @dimzeta worked for me too so it should be fairly straightforward to implement.

By the way, thanks for the library!

sudo node-gyp rebuild

@dimzeta It works for me. Big helpful. Thanks.

I was unable to get this to work and spent several hours trying things. Unfortunately I am not much into the node ecosystem and only am trying to do this to get https://github.com/bbx10/node-opc-server working. and that's just so I can write to it using a python program that I can't use sudo with. All this just to not need sudo.

I'm trying to implement your solution, but the node-gyp rebuild command is not working. It's telling me gyp: binding.gyp not found. The file does not exist. Did you get the same error?
