Help me to level up my Magic Mirror

ufransa

Hi all! At the moment I’m using the basics: weather, time, news, and calendar (though I’m not entirely happy with this setup, as the style isn’t very user-friendly, and I’m not confident enough to make many changes. Currently, I’m using CalendarExt2). I’d love to know what you all are using right now, just to get a couple of ideas. If you could share your code, I’d really appreciate it so in that case I can just copy and paste and start to play with your examples. I’ll go first—I’m using it on a non-touchable portrait screen.

THANKS A LOT TO ALL !!!

Module: MMM-CalendarExt2 https://github.com/MMM-CalendarExt2/MMM-CalendarExt2/tree/main

Sorry for the pics, I don´t know how to copy and paste de code from the raspberry T-T

@ufransa Ext2 is no longer under development. use Ext3 instead.

ext3 uses the default calendar to read the ics and broadcast it fir other modules.

one thing you can do that will help id install Winscp or Bitvise ssh clients on your windows machine.
they will give you a file manager view of the pi files . then you can double click to edit with you pc editor.
and you still get an ssh command window.

you can also use your pc browser to access MagicMirror and use the developer’s window for css development

@sdetweil Hi again ! I´m triying to set it up on my windows but when I use this command it shows this error and I don´t understand the reason.

C:\Users\fjsc6\Desktop\MagicMirror>npm run start

magicmirror@2.29.0 start
DISPLAY=“${DISPLAY:=:0}” ./node_modules/.bin/electron js/electron.js

“DISPLAY” no se reconoce como un comando interno o externo,
programa o archivo por lotes ejecutable.

And if try the command npm run server it shown all undefined on the page. Like this:

in the MagicMirror config.js

change

address:"0.0.0.0",
ipWhitelist:[].

this will allow any system on your local network to connect (its built configured as a thing on the wall, not a server)

then on your desktop

http://mm_server_address:MM_config:port

my systems all have names in the local name server

http://sams:8090
or 
http://raspberrypi:8080
