      @sdetweil This is where ALT comes from. First one I built I did on my own with no guidance and I expect it is why you have seen other people saying ALT doesn’t work anymore. I can only work off the documentation. Documents said hit ALT key, I hit ALT key and it works.

          I can build my digital picture frame without going though a bunch of gyrations and that was my goal so I’m content. 3 - 4 days ago that looked grim.

          Now to look into your comment about a server for all my pictures and see what that requires.
          Stuff I’m likely ignorant of at this moment I’m sure.

            @ankonaskiff17 i had a spare machine, installed linux 10 years ago… have a 5tb external drive with the pics and and a lot of other stuff…
            share via samba (windows file sharing)

            and mount that on the pi (line in /etc/fstab)
            ends up in /media/{username}/…configed_name

            then u can link (ln) to map in to a folder some other place with a new name…

              @ankonaskiff17 Yes sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade. Other modules work again just the DHT wont work :(

                Fixed it. Updating the magic mirror itself did the trick.

                  @Dracarys As in updating to 2.24.0?
                  Those are the best kind.

                    @Dracarys I want to dig in to sensor projects myself. I looked at that DHT sensor and I think it is using SPI so maybe other sensors using same interface might be amenable to using module as a building block.

                      @Dracarys mine is still broken, updated MM to version 2.24.0 and still not working. Any solution?

                        @Jonae How many wires on sensor? 3 or 4? There are some DHT sensors with 4, some with 3.
                        If it is 4, and/or you know it is I2C ,try running ```sudo i2cdetect -y 1’‘’ .
                        Should spit you out an address 38.

                        If not I have a 3 wire sensor I can hook up and run through setup. My 3 wire sensor and DHT supposed to be about twins.
