It seems to be based on an ancient version of serialport. Can we get it updated ASAP?

Hey,
This 'brickpi-raspberry' node module works with older version of Brickpi kit but doesn't work with BrickPi3 because of change in communication i guess.Any solutions to make this module work with brickpi 3.Thanks

I tried setting this up on a brickpi3, and a brickpi seems to work on the brickpi but get's this error on the brickpi3

here's the code

.
var robot = new brickpi.BrickPi();

var motorB = new brickpi.Motor({port: brickpi.PORTS.MB, name: 'motorB'});
.
robot.addMotor(motorA).addMotor(motorB).setup();
.
robot.on('ready', function() {
motorA.resetPosition();
motorB.resetPosition();
robot.run();
.
motorA.start(100).moveTo(5000, function(err) {
// called when motorA has reached 5000 ticks (2500 degrees in rotation).
});
});
.
setTimeout(function() {
motorB.start(50);
}, 3000);
.
setTimeout(function() {
motorB.stop();

robot.stop();
