@nimbus78 yes. Assuming you are in Windows… download notepad++. It’s free. Once you have it open go to the plug in manager and search for java or jscript plug ins. I can not think of the one that I really like at the moment but you can then copy your config to your windows box. Hit one button and it will line everything up nice and clean jscript format. It will make looking at your config a lot easier. From there it will also tell you if you are forgetting a comma or curly bracket as you add modules to your config. Use winscp to copy the config to/from your pi. Also. Once you have a good workin config and you wanna play with a new module. Make a back up first so that if it doesn’t work out or you are frustrated you can “restore the back up” On the pi command line to create a back up. Navigate to the die with your config: cp config.filename backupfile.name cp is the copy command and it works as “from” and then “to” If you ever need to restore: cp backupfile.name config.filename. Reload and you are safely back where you started before screwing with your config. Hopefully some of this helps you.

Hi If I need to test, let’s say the default clock in MM. Is it then possible to set up an environment in jsFiddle or liveweave, so I can take the index.html layout and add that to the HTML field, and then add the clock.js to the JS field and then test the settings? If yes, can someone add an example?

Recommendation Update Actually, this is more of a recommendation confirmation. While you can use ubuntu 18.xx and MM together, I don’t recommend it. I just did a clean install of ubuntu 18.04. Newest stable node and npm. MM v2.6.0. Yes, it runs MM but I don’t see any benefit to using ubuntu 18.xx over 16.04 LTS. I don’t like the changes to the UI in 18.xx and I really don’t like dealing with all the vulnerabilities. Ubuntu 16.04 LTS has a more intuitive UI (IMHO) and there are NO vulnreablilities to deal with. NONE! So, for the time being, I’m staying with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. It’s trouble free and MM loves it, too. I did a test install of Ubuntu 18.04 on a machine I found in someone’s trash. That’s when the vulnerabilities reminded me of why I don’t like 18.xx. Look at the specs. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

@Anthony - That looks like a network outage. The errors show that the NASA module or whatever can’t pull images from the API. And then you lost connection to your mirror. Of course, it could be the Pi shutting off to disconnect the developer tools. Hrm.

Here are some pictures of my progress and current methodology. I’m getting better but the final results are still far from perfect. The workspace (a rough cut piece of particle board covered in dukt tape): Glass onto film (picture was taken the day before when I hadn’t dukt taped the particle board yet): Ready to start smoothing! Done (with flaws) You can’t see it in the pictures but there are some flaws. Flaw type 1 is just regular air bubbles that you can press down on to eliminate. Flaw type 2 is a “hard” air bubble. I assume flaw type 2 is from a spec of dust but I don’t see any dust when I get my eye really close to it. …it just looks like an air bubble. Finally, flaw type 3 is the rainbow discoloration on the film. I had assumed this would go away when I wiped the mirror down with windex but it’s still there. You can actually see this a little bit in the picture. But in real life it’s unbearable, at least to me. I have a USB microscope which I might use to try and get a better idea of what’s going on with flaw type 2. I will probably try poking the flaw type 2 that is on this mirror with a needle to see if I can remove it that way. But if/when that doesn’t work I guess I’m just going to keep trying? I’m really not sure what to do if the problem is dust. I realized that when I was cutting the film around the glass that the exacto knife was digging into the particle board and probably bringing up some particles. So on this mirror I used scissors to avoid bringing up particles from the particle board. Also, if you’ll notice all my blocks are 4x4’s wrapped in dukt tape. Before I began working I thoroughly swept every surface and hit the whole area with compressed air. …of course I could be attracting dust in some way that I’m not considering. IDK. I just feel REALLY bad at this. Any words of advice encouragement? btw, I have been looking on Amazon and they want a TON of money for this. As much as $100 for a 12x24" sheet of two way glass! Of course there are cheaper options but idk if they look good enough. I’m basically looking for perfection. That is, no flaws or warping or discoloration at all. You know, like a mirror.

You could also take a look at mirr.os. I never played around with it, but it looks nice on the website.

Thanks for the input everyone. I will change the update interval and I guess I will end up installing a roller on/off switch on the power cord same as the one you find on some lamps. This should insure no data transfer through the night or when we’re out. I can just shut it all down.

@frode I thnik “Aptenposten” is just a “NAMED” source of Norway. However news.org is gathering more news from various sources(even blogs) of your country, but just they are not “named” sources.(i can see e24.no at this moment. That is a news site of Norway, right?) You can get more news with country code “no” instead direct definition “source”.

Hi, I am planing to setup a few MagicMirror instances and I am looking for an easy way to remotely manage all the instances. I found BalenaCloud which looks very promising. I am new to Docker and I can’t wrap my head aroud on how to use the MagicMirror Docker image with BalenaCloud. Does anyone have any experience with this combination?

@retroflex said in Considerations to take for MM that won’t be at my house?: One more thing… don’t buy a cheap SD card. Buy a high quality one that gets good reviews together with a RPi. Then you will at least minimize the risk of a corrupt card. Sandisk has worked good for me. Use a cheap SSD. Much more reliable. That’s what I am using for more than a year now.

@retroflex said in Horoscope!: So I guess this is the first module you’ll install: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/1370/mmm-horoscope-daily-horoscope Thanks, i will try it… May be i start reading daily First modules to install were the default modules then i installed email, etc… But overtall building the case, frame of magic mirror is pending… Finally i decided to bulid Magic Mirror hardware part first… Because installing modules and editing config.js, making changes to how it looks, it is like super extra long process for me… I am a newbie and its hard for me to write the code, edit CSS etc.
