Difficulty on reinstall of megaind-rpi in Node-Red 3

I recently had to rebuild an old project so decided to start afresh with Raspbian 12 bookworm and Node-Red 3.1.9 (on a RPI 3).

Everything else installs okay except I can't get the node-red-contrib-sm-ind modules to be recognised in NR. The startup log indicates:

12 Jun 10:34:12 - [info] Waiting for missing types to be registered:
12 Jun 10:34:12 - [info] - IND 0-10V in
12 Jun 10:34:12 - [info] - IND 0-10V out
12 Jun 10:34:12 - [info] - i2c scan
12 Jun 10:34:12 - [info] - i2c in

I don't use i2c directly in my project so I assume the i2c scan/in functions are used by the sm-ind nodes.

I've confirmed using the command line that megaind (v1.1.5) I can see the board which has firmware 1.10. It's an older board MEGAIND2 V1.1.

Maybe unrelated but when I try to run the update to update the firmware I get an error:

pi@pi:~/megaind-rpi/update $ ./update 0
bash: ./update: cannot execute: required file not found

Any ideas?

We will burn the last Raspbian and install Node-RED and test it. Which of the install methods did you use, manual or from the Manage palette menu?
There is no need for firmware updates on the old cards, but if you wish to do it, you need to use the 64-bit executable in the "ubuntu" folder.

Hi,

I just installed the node-red-contrib-sm-ind (from the manage palette menu) in Node-RED 3.1.10, which is working well.
Please uninstall the nodes and do the installation from the Node-Red menu.
