    RPI & Kiosk mode is tested. and I added some tiny features for touchscreen.

    If you want to run this module on the Kiosk mode, you should rebuild some module for matching electron version. See Installation.

    After trying out the method of importing the config, it works well and seems to be stable. If anyone has any reason why not to require the config.js in a node_helper file, I would appreciate an explanation.

    I’m kinda new to node JS and I just created my first module.
    I would love some feedback on how to do things better or smarter so I could improve the module and do it better in the future.

    @strawberry-3-141 yes but I will probably use the voice control in a different way than I hought I would. Thats why I am not sure how I will change the code. Makes not much sence to waste your time on correcting the faults when I change pretty much every part of the program again right afterwards (and have to get used to git since I did not use it yet)

    Thanks for answering…

    My calendar link is there, but my password is not. It does say private, but it actually is public, so anyone can see it, nothing too personal ever gets put on there anyway. :smirking_face:

    I can get a YT player to work on the MM, I’m just trying to figure out how to shuffle the list so it doesn’t start from the first song every time i gets loaded. And, if it’s just the video it has problems with, it gives a different error and will go to the next video. So, I know its not that either.

    @sdetweil Actualy JSON requires quotation of the key and of the value (if the value is a string)

    Example of a JSON file:

    { "string": "This is a string", "bool": true, "int", 1, "float": 3.14, "arrayOfStrings": [ "string1", "string2" ], "arrayOfInts": [ 1, 2 ] }

    The same can be used in a Javascript file, but as an object. You can also throw away the quotation of the keys.

    thanks… the image is not shown in the dom, it is shown in a separate ‘browserwindow’, floating over the dom. i just loadUrl the image into the window, after creating and positioning it.
    the mirror code doesn’t know the images are there

    pictorial calendar reminders.

    I have tested that the helper needs to do all this window mgmt

    The scheduler module does scheduling (compare db data to calendar entries), start/stop viewer(s), and provide indirect services to load images depending on their source (file, dropbox, google drive, one drive).

    The viewer module just walks thru a list of urls (getNext()) and opens a window hidden, loads image, hides old window, shows new window, deletes old window. (avoid dead window during load and, minimize screen flash)

    I don’t think this is a good idea. A MagicMirror is by definition an IoT device, and IoT devices are notoriously known for their insecure practices. In fact, the default NOOBS install for the RPi from a security standpoint is a big no-no.

    Unless you have hardened your Pi to have sufficient security practices AND made sure that your network is secure, I would highly recommend against having an IoT device have access to your personal/business financial data.

    Plus, there are a few QB platforms e.g. online and desktop. Setting up access to a desktop QB file would likely require a computer to act as a QB server 24/7. And Quickbooks isn’t free, and module developers won’t be buying a subscription just to develop on it.

    Any thoughts?

    @mykle1 @yawns @bhepler @ninjabreadman @cruunnerr

    After a bit of a hiatus due to other projects, I’m back at it. Think I should open a new post as the site suggested?

    I got two cheap ~20" monitors and cut two panes of glass to size. I figure the first one I do will be kinda an MVP (minimum viable product) approach, and with the second I’ll customize it more to my preferences.

    My main question is how to securely attach the wood rear frame to the monitor. This isn’t a glue situation is it? I’ve got few heavy duty glues but that still doesn’t “feel” secure.

    The guides I’ve seen seem to gloss over like it’s obvious. To me at least, it’s not.

    Remaining little questions:
    How thick should/must the wood for the frame be? How much heft does it need to properly support the monitor/mirror? How much space can I safely save by cutting it down to get it closer to flush with the wall?

    At least in my mind, the back frame shouldn’t encompass the entire perimeter but be strategically located on the back of the monitor. But maybe I’m wrong here, as I suppose it serves the purpose of blocking the view of the inner workings.

    Thanks for all your help along the way. I’m looking forward to sharing pics of the completed beta build as soon as I can!
