@strawberry-3.141 said in Wanting to do it the right way (revisited): @Mykle1 dont make changes in the module files only add the part to the config that you want to be different than the defaults That’s what I wanted to know, thanks.

You are welcome. I guess you will need to find out on your own if the laptop fullfills your requirements. Power consumption is one aspect, another is loudness and heat due to fans in your laptop.

Press CTRL + Q instead :)

Yes you should be able to start everything up… then walk away and see what happens… what I did was once the mirror was loaded I took a towel and covered the PIR Sensor… ;) Then once the screen went out I took it off and waved my hand in front of it and it came back on :)

@broberg Hi, thank you for your reply. Dual touch IR Overlay Touch Screen Frame Panel Interactive 32" to 82" 16:9 is the description of the item. I spoke with the gentleman before I purchased it and he said it was perfect, my friend brought the same frame and hers is fine. The manufacturer accessed my Mirror remotely and the report showed no errors with the frame so he said it must be a windows problem? Many thanks

@yawns It can be done but parts of it would be total rewrites…

@ArcherProject said in How do I configure a module?: @Mykle1 thanks miate exactly what I have ended up doing and now I’m feeling a lot more confident! attempting to add a few extra modules too and so far so good! hope to make another one of these for myself in the future (this one is a gift). feel like I’ve still got a lot to learn though! HEY do yourself a HUGE favor… when you have a working config.js just copy it to config.bak for a backup!! That way you can always look at it and see perhaps where you went wrong… trust me it’s a HUGE time saver!! :)

@yawns ctrl q sorted me out. Thank you!

@yawns Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks

@yawns Awesome! Thank you again! I will definitely be trying this out after work today. Cheers!

Quick answer: They use different libraries to read out the sensor. One requires sudo, one doesn’t.

@JbeesonMagic16 I almost posted the same exact problem but I found this page (thread?) (Whatever), but due to the help you received and your last comment about the private link to google calendars ical, I was able to resolve the issue without asking the question. This place is awesome. :-) Up votes for everyone!

@Jopyth Works like a charm. Many thanks to you and @cowboysdude. I should probably learn more about Git and create a repo of my own based on RedNax67’s great work. That way I can keep tinkering and learning.

@schmo90 I’m sorry, not helping your issue here, but, where do you have the adps-9960 placed? I have ordered one but I’m curious to know if it can read gestures when placed behind the mirror glass?

@gizmo90 said in Magic Mirror in Raspberry pi 1: startx -> LXconsole -> node serveronly -> open the browser of your choice (address: localhost:port) but first config the config.js The user did not yet install magicmirror, so he cannot start it.

I am going to quote my previous post: Maybe you can post an anonymous copy of your ics file? Without more information this is going to be difficult to resolve. Edit: Somehow the dates in the parsing are being ported back to a date before 1970, probably because a year is not passed or interpreted correctly. Additionally it might be useful to know when you last updated (when it was still working) and at what point in time it stopped working, this would limit the changes we have to look at a little bit.

@Jopyth said in Issues during installation: Probably run sudo dpkg --configure -a? :rofl: no offense to mikem112, that reply just made me laugh
