Additional Information:
I have tried the following:
- Re-install the tools for native modules myself using the command “choco install python visualstudio2022-workload-vctools -y” from these these docs
- Upgrading to Python 3.13.5
- Downgrading to Node 20.19.2
- As well as installing a ARM64 and 64-bit versions of Node
- Following this other forum post
- Manually installing @serialport/bindings with “npm install @serialport/bindings”
- This properly installs version 10.0.1 but installing Edge Impulse CLI results in an error
- When I manually install @serialport/bindings@8.0.8 I receive the same error as I do when I install edge-impulse-cli
- This leads me to believe @serialport/bindings is part of the error
