    Why not a PiZero running browser as a client? I had 4 PiZ in a K8s cluster and they did well. I still have a few running streaming cameras for a 3D print farm. Put MM server in a docker container on the RPi4.

    @titoof Not quite understanding your wording, there. Once you follow the instructions in the readme - exactly - and reboot your system, it will work. { module: "MMM-DHT-Sensor", position: "bottom_right", header: "Room Temp", config: { sensorPin: 26, // Use the GPIO number. GPIO 26/Pin 37. sensorType: 22, // DHT 22 (DHT 11 change to 11) updateInterval: 60 * 60 * 1000, initialLoadDelay: 0, animationSpeed: 1000, units: "imperial", relativeScale: 35, debug: false }, },

    First, I would play with your monitor controls to see about getting more light to transmit through your acrylic. Up the gamma first, the contrast second and then adjust the brightness. The brightness will also affect the black areas of the screen, so don’t just crank it all the way up. If that doesn’t work for you, then yeah you may wish to investigate a new monitor.

    I found a bulk pack of wooden popsicle sticks at my local craft store (Michael’s, I think). Something like 500 for a couple of dollars. I hot glue’d two of them to the back of my Pi and I intend to do the same to the monitor circuit boards later this summer. You can hot glue the other side of the sticks to the monitor or use some other adhesive. Another possibility: those credit card offers you get in the mail with the fake credit card included? Grab the sticky industrial booger from the back of those cards. It’s pretty strong, easily formed and temperature resistant.

    “Best” is a very subjective term. In my experience, just about any monitor will do as the mirror layer is going to interfere with what normally separates one monitor from another. To me, the absolute non-negotiable feature is at least one HDMI port and it must face down towards the table in a normal configuration. Other than that… Resolution doesn’t matter so much because I’m just displaying text. Refresh rates don’t matter. Vividness of colors likewise doesn’t matter. I would look for one with good black levels, as any backlight will show through a little bit when the monitor is on. Other than that… whichever is cheapest for the size I want.

I´ll create an git for it in now, I´ll then add the link. Yes I like that idea (y) Here is the code for the TimerModule: https://github.com/Lucker25/MMM-MyTimerModule I hope it´ll work for you okay, as I said, there are many things I still need to add. Since today my screen arrived. I had some suff to do there ;)

  • New Mirropane™ Chrome Spy 6MM Mirror to sell

    PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THE INSTRUCTIONS : I have a brand new mirror from PILLINKGTON that I want to sell. The mirror was never used but has been received with a broken edge of about 5 cm (height). The original size/details are as follows : 1x Mirropane™ Chrome Spy 6MM Width : 58 cm Height : 95,5 cm Weight : 8,31 Kg To be clear : The size presented above are the original size (without the broken edge), so this mirror can be used for anyone that needs a mirror with a height equal or less than 90,5 cm and a width equal or less than 58 cm. The purpose was to build a big 40 inch mirror, that means that for my project, this mirror cannot be used anymore but for everyone who has a project that needs a smaller mirror, this mirror can be used and (made) cut by any glazing manufacturer (to be done by the buyer or myself (upon request) - should not cost more than 20€) following your needs and be used as a must cheaper alternative than buying a new one. The selling price is 60€ (without the shipping fees and cut). The mirror is still originally packed and is located near the Belgium/German border, so we can talk about the shipping or pickup if anyone is interested. Instead of leaving it in my garage, I thought that it could be useful for someone, so don’t hesitate to get back at me. Questions are welcome. See pictures below. BITTE LESEN SIE DIE ANWEISUNGEN SORGFÄLTIG DURCH: Ich habe einen brandneuen Spiegel von PILLINKGTON, den ich verkaufen möchte. Der Spiegel wurde nie benutzt, wurde aber mit einer gebrochenen Kante von ca. 5 cm (Höhe) empfangen. Die Originalgröße / Details sind wie folgt: 1x Mirropane ™ Chrome Spy 6MM Breite: 58 cm Höhe: 95,5 cm Gewicht: 8,31 kg Um es klar auszudrücken: Die oben angegebene Größe entspricht der Originalgröße (ohne gebrochene Kante). Daher kann dieser Spiegel für alle Personen verwendet werden, die einen Spiegel mit einer Höhe von höchstens 90,5 cm und einer Breite von höchstens 58 cm benötigen. Der Zweck war es, einen großen 40-Zoll-Spiegel zu bauen, was bedeutet, dass dieser Spiegel für mein Projekt nicht mehr verwendet werden kann, aber für alle, die ein Projekt haben, das einen kleineres Spiegel benötigt, kann dieser Spiegel durch jeden Verglaser nach Ihren Wünschen gechnitten und verwendet werden (schnitt des Glases sollte vom Käufer betätigt werden (oder ich kann dass nach absprache machen ) - sollte nicht mehr als 20 € kosten (zb. bei Bauhaus/Obi etc…)), und als eine billigere Alternative als der Kauf eines neue Spiegels verwendet werden. Der Verkaufspreis beträgt 60 € (ohne Versandkosten und schnitt des spiegels). Der Spiegel ist noch ursprünglich verpackt und befindet sich in der Nähe der belgisch-deutschen Grenze, sodass wir bei Interesse über den Versand oder die Abholung sprechen können. Anstatt es in meiner Garage zu lassen, dachte ich, dass es für jemanden nützlich sein könnte, also zögern Sie nicht, sich bei mir zu melden. Fragen sind willkommen. Bild befindet sich unten. VEUILLEZ LIRE ATTENTIVEMENT LES INSTRUCTIONS: J’ai un tout nouveau miroir PILLINKGTON que je veux vendre. Le miroir n’a jamais été utilisé mais a été reçu avec un bord cassé d’environ 5 cm (hauteur). La taille / détails d’origine sont les suivants: 1x Mirropane ™ Chrome Spy 6MM Largeur: 58 cm Hauteur: 95,5 cm Poids: 8,31 Kg Pour être clair: la taille présentée ci-dessus est la taille d’origine (sans le bord cassé), donc ce miroir peut être utilisé pour toute personne qui a besoin d’un miroir d’une hauteur égale ou inférieure à 90,5 cm et d’une largeur égale ou inférieure à 58 cm. Le but était de construire un grand miroir de 40 pouces, cela signifie que pour mon projet, ce miroir ne peut plus être utilisé mais pour tous ceux qui ont un projet qui a besoin d’un miroir plus petit, ce miroir peut être utilisé et (faire) découper par n’importe quel vitrier (à faire par l’acheteur (ou je peux m’en occuper si nécessaire) - ne devrait pas coûter plus de 20 €) en fonction de vos besoins et être utilisé comme une alternative moins chère que d’acheter un nouveau mirroir. Le prix de vente est de 60 € (hors frais de livraison et découpe). Le miroir est toujours dans son emballage d’origine et est situé près de la frontière belgo-allemande, nous pouvons donc parler de l’expédition ou de l’enlevement sur place si quelqu’un est intéressé. Au lieu de le laisser dans mon garage, j’ai pensé qu’il pourrait être utile à quelqu’un, alors n’hésitez pas à me contacter. Les questions sont les bienvenues. Voir photos ci-dessous.

    @PHAGE-GOV edit the file as root if u are not root, then u must use the sudo prefix on a command commands to edit on linux are vi, nano and (too many) others… I use nano SO its sudo nano /etc/fstab has nothing to do with MM, just basic linux skills.

    @chassain-0 said in MMM-Pages and copies of modules: hello, you have to copy calendar to calendar2 folder, rename calendar.js to calendar2.js and rename in Module.register(“calendar2”,{… Then in defaultmodules. js add “default/calendar2”. Thank you very much, I followed your instructions and it works now!!!
