Installation issue on Raspberry Pi 2B

[anwarbashir]

Hi, I have installed on Raspberry Pi 2B using instructions including node-hid. I have the nodes available in node-red. The GETHIDDevices seems to be working fine. I receive the vendorid and productid. But when I use these details to configure HIDDevice I get TypeError: Cannot read property 'on' of undefined. Any idea why?

i will try the node with a new node-red and nodejs version in a few days. Maybe a version conflict

Tried on Raspberry PI 3B but I get the following error when trying to install. Any thoughts?

Hi, I have installed on Raspberry Pi 2B using instructions including node-hid. I have the nodes available in node-red. The GETHIDDevices seems to be working fine. I receive the vendorid and productid. But when I use these details to configure HIDDevice I get TypeError: Cannot read property 'on' of undefined. Any idea why?

Same here, does anyone managed to find out what was the issue? I am using Nore-RED v1.0.2 and Node.js v10.17.0 and I am using RPI4B.
getHIDdevice node is working without a problem but configured HIDdevice with the PID and VID does not work. Remain disconnected. What I noticed was logged error each time I rebooted the RPI,
[2.295221] usbhid 1-1.3:1.1: couldn't find an input interrupt endpoint

Below are the list of the versions that work perfectly for my RPI3B
NodeJS v8.12.0
Node-RED v0.19.4
node-hid v0.5.1

Below are the list of the versions that the HIDdevice does not work for my RPI4B
NodeJS v10.17.0
Node-RED v1.0.2
node-hid v0.8.0

I think I have found the solution. The problem should be the nodehid.js in the node-hid module. I copied the nodehid.js from my RPI3B and replaced the nodehid.js in RPI4B and now it worked! Thank you.
