I'm building an Atom plugin that need to use the serial port.
I've npm install --save serialport and it seem to work but when I run it on Windows 10 machine I'm getting the error #1 listed bellow.
If I delete node_modules/serialport directory and do apm install I'm getting error #2 which is a node-pre-gyn compilation error.
npm and apm?Error: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

You can use electron-rebuild to build native modules with specific node/Atom version. This would ensure that module is built and installed at the location Atom expects it to find.
I used this approach for using node-serialport in an Electron project.
Edit :
electron-rebuild depends on availability of VC++ compiler (cl.exe). Ensure that cl.exe is installed and is on path. Visual Studio does not install c++ by default, so choose vc++ as option during setup.
