Pi Zero

@jfi1310 it may have been me who replied to you. As I was told the zero wasnt supported.

I’m the same, I’ve got a WiFi adapter etc for mine

Well I personally never tried it, but I don’t see a reason why it shouldn’t work … :)

There’s this topic:
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/201/sudo-npm-start-does-nothing-on-a-pi-zero/12

Is it a problem especially with the Pi Zero or just because of the card switching?

I just tried to install it on the Pi Zero but there was this message:

No Chance?

Hmmm … it seems the Zero is running on ARMv6. Just like the the Pi 1. Unfortunately, Electron (the browser frame on which MagicMirror relies) does not support ARMv6. You can install MagicMirror² and just use the serveronly method, but you would need to setup a browser in kiosk mode yourself. Which is tricky on the ARMv6 platform.

Hi,

I modify the installation file for Pi0. But the program don’t start. My Post “npm-do-not-start”
and the file.
0_1469782479446_MagicMirrorInstallPi0.sh

I don’t find the solution for the moment.

Ok thanks

Now is ok for the Pi0. But just for install Kweb.
i use this commands:

wget http://steinerdatenbank.de/software/kweb-1.7.3.tar.gz
tar -xzf kweb-1.7.3.tar.gz
cd kweb-1.7.3
./debinstall

I’ve just tried out running MM2 on a Pi0. It all seems to load up using the server only but when I fire up kweb I just end up with a blank screen. This was a new install so I used the basic config file and added my own data (e.g. weather app key, etc.). I’m new to using MM2 as well so I was not sure if I should be seeing lines like:

No helper found for module: nnnn

As far as I can tell the calendar and newsfeed have started, but nothing is displayed :(

Any recommendations on the diagnostic steps I need to take?

Hopefully the community can help you out here as the Pi0 is not supported. Some people may have gotten it to work though …
