Hi everyone ^^,

So I just started my first arduino project ever. I decided to follow this project:

However, on [Setup] step number 7: "Type in following console command to start serial server: node startserver.js" I get the following error:

\?\C:\Users\Ken\Desktop\PlantManager-master\node_modules\serialport\build\Release\serialport.node is not a valid Win 32 application...

Any ideas how to fix this?

Btw, for my port I have: "(COM3 Arduino/Genuino Uno)". Is this normal?
For my board I have: "Arduino/Genuino Uno". Is this ok as well?

Thanks guys

Have you installed Node.js?

Yes

Do you understand the error is specific to Node.js / has nothing to do with Arduino?
