Install File Missing

Hi,

I was trying to get a local install of SparkCore-WebApp.

I followed your instructions. Node.js is installed, and the Sparkcore-WebApp is cloned.

Now within the cloned directory, if I do node install, I get:

module.js:340
throw err;
^
Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Desktop\SparkCore-WebApp-master\SparkCore-WebApp-master\install'
at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:338:15)
at Function.Module._load (module.js:280:25)
at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:497:10)
at startup (node.js:119:16)
at node.js:906:3

Any Help?

Vishal.

Please type npm install to install the dependencies.

Dear Cybear, Thanks for the quick response.

After doing npm install. When I launch node spark.js, I get the following error in the Browser --

Thanks @cybear for that typo catch. 'npm install' is correct.

@gdcvishal if you didn't get any Python errors when you ran 'npm install' everything was probably installed and compiled correctly. There were some Jade syntax errors as Jade has evolved a bit since I wrote this. I figured out the problems and pushed a few changes to the repo, check the last two commits.

Keep in mind this was written before Spark used Device ID and Access Token, so you'll have to figure out how to add that... and if you do please submit a pull request ;-)

@technobly thanks for such a quick fix.

I am new to the spark world and the webapp. It does lauch now.

A stupid query:

Is the Webapp just a frontend, or does it actually allow one to connect to the spark core, like the Tinker App. So when I do a High/Low on D0, will it actually be possible for the WebApp to control the D0 pin?

Thanks!

[technobly]

Yep, it's just a front end, served up by a Node.js server, that does actually allow you to connect to the Spark Core just like tinker. But only for Digital Outputs in it's current state.

I'm thinking if this one sounds too complicated to you, you should probably check out my https://github.com/technobly/Simple-Spark-Core-Controller

and also my https://github.com/technobly/Remote-Spark

Which do a similar thing, albeit not as fancy. They do however work out of the box with no modification needed other than supplying a DEVICE_ID and ACCESS_TOKEN.

Thanks!! I will try the simple apps you pointed out. Since I am just staring to tinker with it, I just want a webapp link to the core's digital io's at present to be grounded onto the platform.
