@Sachin where did you put the PIR sensor?

[Sachin]

@adamsidelsky Thanks. I’ll take a clearer picture tonight when I get home and post it.

[Sachin]

@adamsidelsky I can post the full image of the SD card somewhere I suppose? Part of the fun however is to play with the code.

[Sachin]

@Wilco89 It is in the bottom right hand corner. I’ll make sure to include it when I take a clearer picture tonight.

@Sachin, use 'scrot' to take a screen shot of the display itself. 'scrot /home/pi/screenshot.png' will get you an image of the screen that you can then post here. (if you’re loged in remotely, you need to tell it which display to use: 'DISPLAY=:0 scrot /home/pi/screenshot.png')

As for the source code, you don’t have to post a full image, just the modules folder (assuming everything you have on there is in modules.) You can simply zip it up (you’d have to install zip first if you don’t already have it, 'sudo apt-get install zip'):

$ cd ~/MagicMirror
$ zip -9 -r modules.zip modules

Then you can post that 'modules.zip' file somewhere.

OR, alternatively, you can push your code up to a Github repository so others can download them selectively instead of grabbing the entire modules folder. It’s also easier to maintain your code that way.

@KirAsh4 Thanks for the tips, I learn something new every day!

Sanchin,

Looks great! I’d love a copy of the code please and thank you.

@adamsidelsky Thanks Adam, glad you like it. I’ll see if I can follow KirAsh’s directions can get something up on Github. I do need to strip my API key’s from the config files so you can plug in your own, otherwise you will be seeing my info :-)

I’ll post a link later today when I get a chance to pull it all together.

@Sachin
I’d be interested in your config too - specifically making the compliments a different color / font size. Probably not that difficult, but I always find it easiest to “program by cannibalizing” :) What good is an idea if nobody steals it? Anyway, if you would post at clean-ed up version of your config, I’d appreciate it…

Looks great!
