@sdetweil awesome thakn you, anyway for me to check for errors before i leave nano config.js screen?

[clarkcrew32]

@sdetweil you are like gold lol

still cant get this to work tho as i found a way to do .ics file calender

[sdetweil]

@clarkcrew32 that fetch us on every 7 days

during dev i would change it to a few minutes 5*60*1000

another thing to test

from a terminal window try to download the ics

curl -sL  the_cal_url >somefile.txt

then examine the contents of somefile.txt
for BEGIN:VEVENT…

[sdetweil]

@clarkcrew32 check for errors

not in nano
but you can run the checker

npm run config:check

we do that on every startup now and fail if there is some problem.

@clarkcrew32 hiya I’m not familiar with the MMM-Bitcoin module, but just taking a look at the github page for it at https://github.com/valmassoi/MMM-bitcoin it doesn’t look like the install instructions are complete (it only suggests adding the module config to your config.js)

AFAIK to install a module to your mirror, you’re going to need to clone the repository to your modules directory, as well as add its config.

(apologies, you might know to do this all already, but just to make sure …)

try going

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
git clone https://github.com/valmassoi/MMM-bitcoin

and the module should be cloned to your modules directory

then add the config entry into your config.js file, save the changes and try running your MagicMirror again.

(I don’t see any obvious typos for the MMM-Bitcoin entry in your config.js screenshot at the top, it looks like you edited it with nano just fine the first time).

@clarkcrew32 the bitcoin module has a problem.
it uses s library we stopped shipping 3 years ago.
but the author didn’t document its use.

so, in the module folder do
npm install request

@sdetweil

im geting an error at the very last line here

[sdetweil]

@clarkcrew32 that last },

should not have a comma

the collapsed structure looks like this (for example, ignore individual values)

  var config = {
    address: "0.0.0.0",
     port: 8090,
    basePath: "/",
    language: "en",
    serverOnly: "local",
    locale: "en-US",
    logLevel: [
      "INFO",
      "LOG",
      "WARN",
      "ERROR"
    ],
    timeFormat: 24,
    units: "metric",
    electronOptions: {
      x: "2560",
      y: "0"
    },
    useHttps: false,
    ipWhitelist: [],
    modules: [

    ]  // <--- end of modules
  }  // <--- end of confg:
;  //<<------- note this is not a comma

/*************** DO NOT EDIT THE LINE BELOW ***************/
if (typeof module !== "undefined") {module.exports = config;}

@sdetweil i cant figure this out, what should that section be
