A module to cast to the MagicMirror. Currently, only YouTube casting is supported. You can try following module for screencast.
Navigate to the modules directory via the follow command: cd MagicMirror/modules
Clone the module from github: git clone https://github.com/kevinatown/MMM-Screencast.git
Navigate to the MMM-Screencast directory: cd MMM-Screencast
Install the dependencies: npm install
Add the following configuration to the modules array in the config/config.js file:

@thgmirror said in Script pishrink reduces the size of backup-images to restore on smaller SD-cards:

@assassins Did you include a zip-process? If the backup is zipped, you can save additionally a lot of space.

You can read on pishrink, how to set this to .zip, the script i made is to .img

@jms3700 Outstanding and super simple tutorial thank you!

If you’re just interested in Arduino and led lights this one may be of interest.

Under Cabinet lightingt

This is a project that does require some planning to lay out wires, etc.

But what it does is gives me automatic lights without any other controls needed. The sun comes up the lights go out… turn on kitchen light the lights go out. I generally run most things through Home Assistant and you can this too but I didn’t feel it was necessary to do that. Just made them ‘automatic’ on their own.

My setup: Raspberry Pi 3b+, Acer 17" VGA monitor, HDMI->VGA converter from Pi to monitor, PIR sensor (script uses vcgencmd display to turn on/off), monitor is portrait mode (so turned 90 degree).

My issue: when the PIR sensor detects motion, the Pi script enables the display. The monitor tries to “auto-config” at that time. Most of the time, all is well but sometimes, the monitor auto-configs such that the magic mirror image shown is shifted up a bit. That is, the monitor seems to sync say 2cm down from the top of the expected image. At the bottom of the monitor, you can see a dim black 2cm bar where the bottom 2cm of the image should be. Hope that’s clear. :)

I tried playing with hdmi_* settings in the Pi boot/config.txt file but have had no luck.

It’s an old monitor but when used with my windows PC, it worked fine.

Hello guys,

i have a question with reference to the Magic Mirror module MMM-CalenderExt2. Is it possible to change the with of the single days in the view configuration “month”.

Thanks.

Best regards.

@lhops for a small protocoll add the following lines to crontab
(enter crontab -e at the prompt):

@reboot echo “---- start ----” >> proto.txt
*/5 * * * * date >> proto.txt
*/5 * * * * vcgencmd measure_temp >> proto.txt

That moves the date and the temperature to a file called proto.txt every 5 minutes (and an eyecatcher at the start of the raspberry)

@karsten13 thanks for the info. so i guess for the docs page it will be a “do it via the ui” info instead of the good old “edit this file” :-)

@bugsounet Sorry, i am not sure i understand. Is it your wish that people not mention your modules on this forum? If so, I was unaware and apologize.

But, I don’t understand why. It is certainly not part of the MIT license under which your modules are distributed. Still, I suppose out of courtesy one might wish to conform to your request. Anyway, I’m a bit confused and perplexed and sorry if I did something wrong.

@karsten13 I would normally agreee, but this is only to satisfy weird demands on SSL, not for any form of security and the mirror is not externally available.

@sdetweil
Ok thanks much I’ll try

@jalibu

see https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues/2545

@sdetweil I can’t find it (I’ve reverted to previous anyway), but bullseye actually runs OMX with a couple of library fixes, if I recall right, just takes a symlink or two to match up the shared libraries.

@sdetweil Thanks! I think I can manage that.

… our cat seems to be waiting for the storm to end. show us your pet photos. Greetings from Germany.

@kristjanesperanto Thanks, I’ll look into it.

@extra u can use my code as the base for what u need, but it does 95%

splitting lines

easy in JavaScript, split()

how to handle the different lines… that’s your design and implementation
my code assumes one blob of text.

I had a similar issue whereby my connection kept dropping, my issue was due to poor WiFi connectivity so I created a simple bash script to restart the network connection every so often to bring it back onto the network. Here’s how I did it.

#!/bin/bash # The IP for the server you wish to ping (8.8.8.8 is a public Google DNS server) SERVER=192.168.240.254 # Only send two pings, sending output to /dev/null ping -c2 ${SERVER} > /dev/null # If the return code from ping ($?) is not 0 (meaning there was an error) if [ $? != 0 ] then # Restart the wireless interface ifconfig wlan0 down ifconfig wlan0 up

This was inside a file within my home area, the IP address on line 4 is of my router (I couldn’t see a need to ping an internet endpoint in my scenario). The last two lines may need amending depending on which network interface your MM is using. Once that file is created insert a crontab (crontab -e) and insert the following to restart the network connection every 30 minutes (adjust to your needs)

*/30 * * * * root /home/pi/scripts/wifi_rebooter.sh

@n6ng use sudo raspi-config
