Compatible with WS2801?

[kami004]

Hi there. Love your project and currently try to set it up at home.
Before I continue to the software issues (where I am currently stuck): Can I also use this software with my WS2801 Pixels? Currently connected them in this setup (https://tutorials-raspberrypi.de/raspberry-pi-openhab-2-ws2801-ws2812-rgb-led-streifen-steuern/).

I followed all your instructions for my Pi but when I try to install the server, I just get issues.

`pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd rio && npm run install-server

Thanks guys! Really appreciate your help.

Your npm version is incredibly old. Please try upgrading that to at least v5. Run npm install -g npm@5

[kami004]

Thanks @ssg-luke , that already helped a lot. Installation went smooth afterwards. Weird btw, I had a freshly installed RPi do know why it somehow grabbed such an old version. anyway.

When I now "npm run server" seems like I run out of memory.

`pi@raspberrypi:~/rio $ npm run server

cd ./rio-server && npm start

Still wondering: Can I really set this up with ws2801? mine are connected with two gpio pins like mentioned in the url above.

Thanks
