Modifying the Config File

[jimb]

Sam,
OK progress on the network front. I spent some time yesterday on the phone with eero tech support. At rhe end they suggested connecting my PC wirelessly and seeing if I could ping the rasberry. It works. I can ping and SSH/Putty into the pi, but have an additional snag. It accepts the login and sends a password request. BUT, I can’t enter anything- the keyboard is dead at that point.

@jimb ok, sounds like the wifi network is a guest, not connected to the regular ethernet network…

don’t use putty

open a cmd.exe window

ssh user_name@machine_ip

add one of the tools

winscp or bitvise ssh clients

they will give you a filemanager view of the files and an ssh window ,
per system you connect to…

bitvise also provides a filemanager view of the pc filesystem , so you can drag/drop files in either direction… (you would only do that for logs to pc, of special bug fix file , to pi)

Sam, success! I have d/l’d the SSH gui program and here is my config.js file. I have deleted my apiKey

modules: [
		{
			module: "alert",
		},
		{
			module: "updatenotification",
			position: "top_bar"
		},
		{
			module: "clock",

		},
		{
			module: "calendar",
			header: "US Holidays",
			position: "top_left",
			config: {
				calendars: [
					{
						fetchInterval: 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000,
						symbol: "calendar-check",
						url: "https://ics.calendarlabs.com/76/mm3137/US_Holidays.ics"
					}
				]
			}
		},
		{
			module: "compliments",
			position: "lower_third"
		},
		{
			module: "weather",
			position: "top_right",
			config: {
				weatherProvider: "openweathermap",

@jimb missing some at the bottom

I assume the apikey with a new line inside is a removal edit problem

always wrap config.js content in code block

paste into editor
blank line above and below
select pasted text
hit button </>

[jimb]

Sam, here is a copy of the config.js (with the apiKey deleted)

let config = {
	address: "localhost",	// Address to listen on, can be:
							// - "localhost", "127.0.0.1", "::1" to listen on loopback interface
							// - another specific IPv4/6 to listen on a specific interface
							// - "0.0.0.0", "::" to listen on any interface
							// Default, when address config is left out or empty, is "localhost"
	port: 8080,
	basePath: "/",			// The URL path where MagicMirror² is hosted. If you are using a Reverse proxy
					  		// you must set the sub path here. basePath must end with a /
	ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1"],	// Set [] to allow all IP addresses

Sam, I tried to do the Ctrl-Shift_i keypress in the browser, but nothing happened. Do I need to do this at a certain point in time or from a certain place. The reason is because I’m still getting the 401-unauthorized messages if I perform the npm start dev process during application start.

[sdetweil]

@jimb weird… always works for me.

I meant to test w my apikeys today.

will get to it

[sdetweil]

@jimb well, I used your exact weather config, and used my openweather api key , and it worked perfectly

[sdetweil]

@jimb and you’ve got some stuff out of position

this is the more correct layout

Sam, that’s helpful, thanks! The items out of alignment happened when I deleted some of my apiKey. The original is perfectly straight. Since it worked with your Key, a couple of questions.

1. Does your Key have 28 digits?
2. Can you answer my question concerning the Ctrl-Shift-i keys to display the browser data. Can I stop the MM app and load the browser, or…
