Hello everyone. I would like to ask what problems I may have if I downgrade my MM from latest v. 2.6.0 to v. 2.3.1. I am asking because I have installed MM and Mycroft on the same Rpi 3b+ and the creator of the Magic Mirror Voice Skill suggest this version because of the different versions of electron they use. Last version of MM uses a newer version of electron which causes extremely high CPU usage and will overheat the pi. My pi is in a case with heat sinks and a small fan over the main chip. It does not overheat but it freezes sometimes and I think that it may be electron’s fault. Any idea? Because I am a noob I maybe am wrong so any suggestions will be welcome. Thank you in advance.

@mykle1 :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing: :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing: :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing: yeah, realized the main issue was trying to get it to have a border and it just wouldn’t work with the wide screen monitor of the TV.

Hi everybody, I have an issue that I don’t realize how to solve it: My mirror has several modules, but particularly has MMM-ImageSlideshow to show images in an iterative way. Everything works fine, but now, I need to pass the images shown by ImageSlides with a button action (show previous or next image). At first, I tried to instance some ImageSlides modules (each module showing only one picture) and I tried to manage the visualization of each module with MMM-Carousel without success, because all instances of ImageSlides were shown in the mirror at the same time (not only one at time). So, I researched in the 3rd-party-modules but I didn’t find anything that can fit to my requirement. In summary, I’m looking for some way to pass images (previous and next) by a button action. I would be very nice to me if some of you have an idea how to do this. Also, if someone want to share a config file as an example I would be very grateful. Thank you very much. Regards! Agustin.

so there was one issue in each .js file, I ended up pasting the entire .js repository back in from the GitHub files, that seems it fixed it. for people having this issue when it black screens, run cd MagicMirror npm start dev that starts up magic mirror with dev options, go to the second tab, there will be files that have errors or security issues, that’s what it was for mine anyway… It’s fixed now, thanks a lot for helping.

@dgregory19 said in MMM-Astrology MagicMirror Crash: Thats the funny part. I did run the config:check and it found no errors That’s because the error wasn’t in the config.js file, as mentioned above. So now you don’t have to make the edit yourself. Simply run git pull in the MMM-Astrology directory then run your mirror

Thank you @lavolp3 and @sdetweil …IT WORKS!!!

Found it. https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/9707/save-performance-when-rotating-screen-e-g-on-raspberry-pi Looks like this is a better option. Will give it a try myself.

try this topi https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/9386/installing-on-a-pi-zero

@sdetweil does that mean the automatic setup doesn’t have it or the manual github setup doesn’t have it listed as a step? :thinking_face:

For anyone that encounters a similar issue, the “X-Frame-Options” header needed to be hidden: proxy_hide_header X-Frame-Options;

I posted this in another thread too. Hi, For beginners, the catchphrase is “JSON syntax”. There are many articles to be found, both short and lengthy. A small article would be: https://restfulapi.net/json-syntax/ The main things to look for in your config.js file are: does every [ have a matching ] are all arrays separated by a , (the last array does not need a ,) does every { have a matching } are all objects separated by a , (the last object does not need a ,) is every name value pair separated by a , The syntax checker will try to find out if this syntax is correct and tries to predict where the error could be. So, when it says it saw a [ and it cannot find a matching ] it tells you what was expected and what it saw. Try to format you config.js to make it more visible. For example this: [{},{}],[{},{[]}] is better written like this: [ {}, {} ], [ { }, { [ ] } ] Pairs of [ ]and { } are better visible like this. Good luck :-)

Hello everyone. First of all thank you all for the work done and those who take their time reading this thread. I installed the following module: MMM-DHT-Sensor But I can not make it work. I installed both dependencies. I typed “npm install rpi-dht-sensor” command in my MagicMirror folder and even in the module folder. But I still have no data going back. I have the module that appears in my MagicMirror but instead of the values ​​I just “…”. An idea? Thank you all.

Hi, @Maxxlin, I recommend you try this instructions: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/9386/installing-on-a-pi-zero I’ve recently installed it and found 0 problems. It works fine!

Hi my Calendar tital text is to long how do i wrap the text using the configuration options im just not sure how to add then Thanks { module: "calendar", header: "US Holidays", position: "top_left", config: { calendars: [ { symbol: "calendar-check", url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxbasic.ics" } ] } },

I’m aware there’s too many commas by ‘traditional thinking’ - but I kept getting config errors without it. This was the default config, modified for testing.

suffered the same problem and found this: https://wiki.debian.org/SSH#SSH_hangs it solved my extreme unstable SSH connection problem

Hello builders. I recently installed mycroft in the same rpi which i have installed magic mirror. Everything went ok. The problem is that mycroft doesn’t show/hide all modules. For example i have MMM-Horoscope and MMM-Coctails which both are included in the availiablemodules.js file. Is there something more that I have to do? Thank you in advance.

Oh my god. What a stupid error. I installed the module in den /MagicMirror folder. Again a Layer 8 problem. Excuse me for wasting your time. But I’m so thankful to you. :-)
