Cannot use with Node 10

[C-D-Lewis]

Upgrading my apps to Node 10, I found I can no longer use this above node 8. When building wiringPi:

../src/addon.h:45:15: error: ‘class v8::Object’ has no member named ‘ForceSet’
       target->ForceSet(v8::String::NewFromUtf8(isolate, #name, v8::String::kInternalizedString), \
               ^~~~~~~~

I found a related issue: WiringPi/WiringPi-Node#95

The upshot appears to be that the wiringpi-node npm module just isn't maintained anymore.

However, this newer package could be a possible alternative, as it is based on the old library: https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-wiring-pi

hi there, same issue here, were you able to figure it out?

thanks in advance

Not yet (lack of time) but my options are:

1. Fix the bug relating to the WiringPi dependency
2. Rollback to node 8 in my apps (it's unsupported and lacks needed language features)
3. Creating/adopting a new blinkt node driver package.

I found that replacing wiringpi-node (doesn't build on node 10) with node-wiring-pi allows me to use blinkt! again. Will make a PR.

Merged and also updated the code. Thanks for all your help to maintain this project, you rock!

Thanks for this!!! If you're so kind, could you please add some steps on how to set it up? I have a rpi4 with latest raspbian and getting a lot of errors still. Got the source from here with:

npm install git+https://[email protected]/Irrelon/node-blinkt.git

this throws a LOT of warnings but seems to go on. from here, a myriad of errors that get fixed by adding a new babel runtime dependency, node-gyp etc...

could you please share some steps on how to set this up to finally flash the blinkt from node (i'm currently on 10.15.2 on the pi)?

also, maybe sharing the package.json if you don't mind?

thanks a lot!!!
