I realize this is an old thread - but the rpi3 does have an OpenGL driver that you can install via raspi-config under “Advanced” It does have a GPU - “Broadcom Video Core” -Earle

@t3xastoast So apparently changing the port from 8080 to 8000 in the config.js fixed this. It works now.

Hi all: I had a fully functioning MM install on a Pi3 and I wanted to try to add Alexa functionality. I installed Alexa following: https://lifehacker.com/the-simplest-way-to-build-a-raspberry-pi-powered-amazon-1794218212 because I could not get the MMM-Alexa app through the Amazon sign-up. I was connected to the MagicMirror through an SSH and I had fixed the ip to 192.168.0.254 which was free and in my reserved area on my router. In working through the steps, it appeared that my USB sound card wasn’t working so I shifted to getting the sound card working for both recording and playback (I have one of those USB sound cards with both mic and headphone jacks). The very first step was to do an update and upgrade: $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get upgrade Well, it got through the update okay so I started the sudo apt-get upgrade command and left it alone. When I returned the SHH was disconnected and it seemed that an error had occurred somewhere. I rebooted and did an ipscan and I could not find my MagicMirror! No device at 192.168.0.254. It’s possible that in registering my Alexa app to Amazon (which was completed successfully) that the fixed ip had been overwritten to be a dhcp device but no other connected device appeared to be my magic mirror. I have TWO Echo dots and when I look at the devices on my router there are THREE Amazon devices. Does this mean that the Amazon registration redefined the ip address for the MM because I registered the Alexa app? I tried remotely logging into each of these devices but none replied, so I couldn’t login that way. So, I pulled the microsd card and put it in a new Pi3, connected a mouse, usb keyboard, hdmi monitor and a 2.5A, 5v microusb power connector to work on it directly. It boots up, opens my window environment and then the Magic Mirror. I get the captions but none of the internet content (its likely the machine is not connected to the internet). So I try to kill the Magic Mirror to get back to the windowing environment and it does not respond to any keystrokes or mouse clicks!! I’ve tried ctrl-c, ctrl-w, ctrl-q, ctrl-z, ctrl-x … and even the special functions keys that use to interrupt the MMM window so I could enter ctrl-c in it base window. In fact, even the caps-lock button does not even light up the LED on one of the keyboards … so it’s like the keyboard is not being recognized!! I’ve tried 2 keyboards, but neither allow me to interrupt. If the keyboard and/or mouse are not being recognized, how do I interrupt the boot sequence or the MM autostart before they start the MM? I really do not want to start over as I customized the MMM and had it where I wanted it configured. Any one have any magic to try to fix this??

So i was rereading the wiki and noticed the remote file needs to be in .json format while the script is in .js. I’m sure that will make things more difficult

@berlincount oh, I’ve tested both master and develop branches, and any non-opaque backgroundColor gives bad redraws on clocks etc - but no transparent background …

Answering myself here might help somebody with a similar problem. Thanks to the latest Issue 60 of The MagPi I checked the wireless network with the Wifi Analizer and I realized that I had to change the channel. Looks much better now :)

@jgrossrieder said in I only have a white command line after following the tutorial: also, I rebooted the Pi, and the mirror didn’t restart :( Here it is: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/Auto-Starting-MagicMirror

Working my way through errors … I am able to get it to load ( in serveronly mode ) : After some time a message says : Register Alexa Java Client by navigating to https://localhost:5555/provision/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I have to do this manually to make the loading continue. It then throws an error message, tells me that the client is registered with a token, finishes loading and when I say mirror mirror, I can talk to Alexa and get an answer, but : the trigger works only once registering to get a token is fine, but not for each reboot/restart running not via serveronly will not work because of that Here is probably something still wrong. Any ideas ? Thanks Thanks

Romain can you please tell me how you were able to do that?

I’ve been ‘googling’ since posting and have found the solution (may not be the best solution, but it is now working). I’ll put it here as it may help someone, or someone else may have a better suggestion: targetTemperatureCell.insertBefore(frostCell, targetTemperatureCell.firstChild);

Can I set this to be shown in the background ? As it is now, it is always on top of everything. Thanks

Hi all, I have a really bizarre issue with my Infra Red for my Magic Selfie Mirror. When an adult with very large fingers uses the touch screen to write their name, it usually works fine, however when someone with smaller fingers or children use it, the text comes it all in dots and doesn’t work very well at all. It is definitely to do with the size of the finger used as when I use my thumb which is much larger, it works perfectly, so it is a surface area issue but not sure why infra red would not pick up a small object? I tested the infra red and there are no black spots or breaks. Can anyone help? Thank you very much in advance for any help. Martin.

Hello there, After making an API in Strava I edit the config file in MM. Stava is now showing up. Is it possible to show my club instead of my personal trainings? In the API i selected “clubs” but MM is still showing my trainings… Any idea how to sort this out? Thanks.

@mongo116 the callback of the request gets executed async, so you can’t put them just next to each other. Because then the second request would be fired before the first one got his respond, by nesting you can ensure that the first request got a respond.

How can I select the language Alexa will use ? I finally got it up and running, but now she speaks German only. Fine with me, but can I change it English and if yes, how ? Thanks

Problem solved, I got it to run. The problem around the grant request was a wrong code ( cut and paste error !!!). Then it run, but no micro ( snowboy related ). A rebuild of snowboy solved it. Now Alexa answers my questions ! The come a bit delayed, but they come. Compred to the sample app, the response has quite a lot of delay. Any ideas to speed it up ? Thanks.

@hall1458 cd ~/MagicMirror then npm install
