Failed sending event: Error: connect ECONNREFUSED [your-localIP]:39500

[daaustintx]

Hello!

Took me a couple of hours to find this out, but I'm suggesting a change within the README.md.

Under: # Raspberry Pi setup
Section: ## Running the server on the background / after startup

You can add a command to your /etc/rc.local

sudo nano /etc/rc.local

and add the following content right before exit 0

exec 2> /tmp/rc.local.log      # send stderr from rc.local to a log file
exec 1>&2                      # send stdout to the same log file
set -x                         # tell sh to display commands before execution

node /home/pi/Apps/myqcontroller/server [your-localIP] &

[your-localIP] Issue with Log example

The [your-localIP] should be [your-STlocalIP].

I kept receiving an error message when the Raspberry Pi IP address [your-localIP] was used.

Changed from [your-localIP] to [your-STlocalIP] Example

After changing the IP address from the Raspberry Pi [your-localIP] to ST [your-STlocalIP], the communication started to function as expected.
