Please use the markdown features to make your code easier to read.

The name of the module must match the name of the Github project and (more importantly) the name of the directory where the module resides. Try module: “MMM-rainfc”,. Also, it looks like you closed the config of the rainfc module, but you didn’t close the module itself. So:

{
module: “MMM-rainfc”,
position: “top_right”,
header: “Rain forecast”,
config: {
lat: “52.525”,
lon: “5.71806”,
width: 200,
height: 150,
lineWidth: 2,
lineColor: “#e0ffe0”,
fillColor: “#e0ffe0”,
maxPower: 300,
rainText: "Tot: ",
noRainText: "Geen regen tot: ",
nrOfTimeLabels: 5 // advised values: 2-5
}  
},

i hope i changed it correctly it is all new for me and english is my second Language

[Mykle1]

I’m pretty sure that these type of quotes “MMM-rainfc”will cause syntax errors. Notice the difference between those and these "MMM-rainfc"

Edit: Nevermind! :-)

[noiz13]

@Mykle1 said in keep running against a wall:

“MMM-rainfc”

that is so small i did not see it can you recommend a good text editor for a noob?

[Mykle1]

I prefer notepad++ on PC and notepadqq on linux but there are others. Sublime is another favorite of many people

Ok, I took a look at this at Peter’s request, so you can thank him. A number of things wrong with this config.

1. This calendar url fails to load
   https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/8tjs1qac4300edu3evdqsh3gp8%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics

2. This calendar url:
   https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/ferrynoiz%40gmail.com/public/basic.ics

Only returns this

3. This newfeed url is not working
   https://www.nu.nl/rss/Algemeen.xml

4. The author of “rainfc” created the repo in the name of MMM-rainfc. This is a problem because the module files are named “rainfc.js” and “rainfc.css”. So, for now, you can simply rename your MMM-rainfc folder to “rainfc” to coincide with your config.js entry. You can message the author about the error.

5. the rainfc module loaded once for me with a black and white graph. The very next time I tried to run it I saw the message “NO DATA” and this:
   

I highly suspect that the API for this module is having troubles, at least at the moment of my testing.

6. I have no idea where all those double dashes in your config came from. Those have to go. If you can simply copy and paste you can use this, saved as a js file and named “config.js”

thank you this is awesome much appreciated. now i can appropriated old laptop and use it as my test set.

[Mykle1]

@noiz13

Graag gedaan! (I googled that)

Old laptops are an excellent choice for getting to know the MM software or for driving the mirror itself. In fact, they are all I use these days. They are widely available, relatively inexpensive and have everything you need built right in. I’ve made 2 mirrors using just a laptop. They perform exceptionally well.

Peace.

[noiz13]

@Mykle1 it works thank you for your code now i can learn more.

regarding the os i have put raspian on the laptop because my thought is that works the best.
however MM is seeing my laptop as a raspberry 1 witch is incompatible with MM can i use normal debian would that be better?
