      @cowboysdude I’ve got the 5MP regular version PiCamera. I read somewhere that the new 8MP ones still got some issues. Don’t know what’s the situation with it now.
      Yes, I can share you my capturing code but now I’ve tried to capture images with the built in script of paviro’s MMM-Facial-Recognition-Tools and it works fine. No need to use other script anymore. :)

        @paviro I tried it at first time and it seemed not working. Don’t know what the problem was but I’ve taken a second try right now and it works like a charm. :) Thanks!

          Thank you both!! My camera should be in today so I guess I’ll tinker with it this weekend.

          I ordered the NOIR version …

            Someone know if this module could work with a USB webcam? I try but don´t recognize me. I have the training.xml document on the folder, then start the MagicMirror and Raspberry start the module, but then nothing. I need to do something else? Need to configure in a different way? Or not be possible?

              @piedaniel did you set “useUSBCam” to True in the config.js?

                  I’m holding off on the facial recognition until I can figure out how to use in conjunction with pir sensor to turn mirror on and off…

                    Can anyone show me an example of how the classes should sit in the config.js file? I’m confused

                      Take a look at the stock ~/MagicMiror/config/config.js.sample file. That should give you a good start.

                      A Life? Cool! Where can I download one of those from?

                        im stuck at this part of the facial recognition tools - “Write down the [‘name’, ‘name2’,‘name3’] part because you will later need it for setting up your mirror’s face recognition.” , Where do i find those names ? i see a folder has been created in the training data , but training.xml doesnt have any names

                              @lepetitnicolas To my knowledge , capture .py only works with the built in webcam , that is , the pi camera module . Plus , if you are already taking images via fswebcam , why not just select option 2 in capture.py, the one with using already existing .jpg files ? Why capture again ?

                                    @lepetitnicolas the array personen(really need to translate that into english :D ) should be personen = ["Gael"] else it will look for a variable called Gael which does not exist.

                                    We're all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?

                                      @lepetitnicolas you will see the names as an output to running the train.py file , in the terminal window itself , copy paste from " [ " to "] " and save it. Place this text in personen as mentioned by @paviro and also place it in the config.js file . Hope this clears things up

                                          @lepetitnicolas what does /home/pi/MagicMirror/npm-debug.log say? Also please use Markdown on shell snippets!

                                          We're all stories in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?
