  I didn’t use the image but used my own installation. Therefore In can’t tell for sure. However,where ist the wpa_supplicant.conf you are referring to located? Did you use/create one directly on /boot? This should automatically be copied to the “normal” location and then automatically get deleted.

  My wpa_suplicant.conf file looked like

  ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev update_config=1 network={ ssid="NAMEOFNETWORK" psk="WPA2KEY" }

  (of course you have put your network name and key in, but keep the quotation marks).
  Which editor did you use (not that there is a problem with the line end or something similar)?

  Once it worked, I replaced the clear text psk by a passphrase by using wpa_passphrase.

  So I’m planning to build a Magic Mirror shortly and am considering using either a spare RPi B I have lying around, or perhaps a cheap Fire tablet. If I were to use the RPi, I was wondering whether it would be possible to use an e ink display, with the contrast inverted to have a black background. Would this work through 3mm acrylic? My main worry is the brightness would be too low…

  @I_Am_Anthony Off the top of my head, use the scheduling module and the background image module in conjunction. There’s no reason you can’t put the background module in twice and swap 'em out at a particular time.

  @ceddirr I saw your questions about the project… Answers below. :)

  First, I forgot to say thank you for your kind words!

  Question: “Which order is it? At first the IR frame, then the one way mirror, and finally the screen, is it correct?”

  Answer: Correct, from the “front” the IR-Frame is first, placed directly on to the mirror and behind the mirror sits the screen. :)

  Question: “I can see that the custom css of the MMM-Memo is already written in css file from the module’s folder. But, how do you manage to use it, and have this look with your memos? Mine are just white and simple… Thank you =)”

  Answer: Well, I’m actually not doing so much in the CSS file. The only thing I set in the custom.css is the size of the Memo. The rest is “built in”.

  This is the CSS part (in my custom.css file):

  /* MMM-Memo -----------------------------------------*/ .MMM-Memo .small { font-family: "Roboto Condensed", sans-serif; } .note { width: 500px; height: 200px; } /*****************************************************/

  And this is in my config.js:

  { module: "MMM-Memo", position: "upper_third", classes: "default everyone", config: { memoTitle: "Flyginformation", memoDisplayIfEmpty: false, memoRotation: -4, format: "YYYY-MM-DD - HH:mm", memoWidth: 500, memoDisplayHeader: true, memoDisplayDuration: true, memoDisplayId: true, memoColorBackground: "LightGoldenrod", memoDisplayNotification: true, } },

  You can see all the options for the config on the MMM-Memo’s git.
  There are lot’s and lot’s of options for colors and themes. :)

  So, if you want to hook this mechanism, You should modify your module not to be dependent on .getDom(), and you should draw and insert your DOM by yourself.

  Is there anyone who has an experience with Asus Tinker Board?

  I’ve got one today and am waiting for new SD card arrival.

  My old one was RPi 3 model B, It worked perfectly, but I’ve felt something insufficient. So I ordered an ATB on Amazon.
  
  Here is a brief comparison

  Raspberry Pi 3 Model B vs. Asus Tinker Board 35 - 40 EUR Price in Germany
  (Amazon.de) 55 - 60 EUR 9 x 6 x 1 cm Dimension 9 x 6 x 1 cm
  (perfectly same with RPI 3 Model B) Cortex-A53 Quad-core 1.2GHz Processor Cortex-A17 Quad-core 1.8GHz 1GB LPDDR2 Memory 2GB LPDDR3 HDMI, supports HD resolution Display Output HDMI supports H.264 4K resolution MicroSD Storage MicroSD (UHS-I Support) up to 48K/16bit sample rate Audio up to 192k/24bit sample rate Bluetooth 4.1 Classic Low Energy,
  10/100 Ethernet,
  2.4GHz 802.11n Connectivity Bluetooth 4.0 + EDR,
  Gigabit Ethernet ,
  802.11n Micro-USB Power Micro-USB Linux-Debian OS Support Linux-Debian

  I have not checked all compatibility issues of Tinkerboard yet. I just hope there would not be any problem. :)
  Currently, I consider playing videos on my mirror, that’s why I need stronger. I hope this might be the one as I thought.
