What is the minimum node version needed?

The node-libpiod is tested on node 12 and latest versions. The real concern is the libgpiod version provided by the system, which must be 1.5 at minimum and 1.6 at maximum.

Is libgpiod 2.x supported

The 2.x series is a brand new API and is currently under development.

Why is my project not working

Please provide sample code, open an issue and try to run some samples and the test suite on your hardware.

Hopefully your hardware is till accessible to me or to others so we can run your sample and sort it out.
