Hello-Lucy

@Mykle1
Just tried my Monitor out. Thats a sick black. I can’t see any difference between black and Monitor off.
And there is no message when unplugging or plugging in the HDMI cable :grinning_face:

Hope I get the walnutwood for my frame next week

@Mykle1 Probably going to keep the pi: The only problem I have right now is the gif.
So I checked why this actually is a problem: GIF’s and the Pi just really hate each other, because unlike a video it gets processed in the cpu. However showing the gif as a video in a loop should work a lot better ;)
Will try this and let you know how it worked out

You need to put a Chevy Bowtie around that!

Is that an image, or what?

maxbachmann

@justjim1220 was just the first mainly black picture I had laying around lol

maxbachmann

I hope someone has a clue about this problem. Magic Mirror ect has a black background. However when I show it on my monitor it appears a bit gray. I would usually say thats because of the monitor. However when I plug in my windows laptop and show black it’s a lot darker. Whats the reason that my debian has no real black?

maxbachmann

Found the problem the raspberry used limited RGBinstead of full RGB now it’s real black ;)
the video runs without lagg however it’s really at the limit lol
need a cooler otherwise the raspberry keeps overheating

@justjim1220 said in Hello-Lucy:

And yes, Mykle is very correct about the voice issue.

The point I was really trying to make is that ubuntu uses the least amount of resources and turns a useless/worthless laptop into an excellent MM board that outperforms any Pi.

Mykle1

@maxbachmann

I would recommend a fan for any Pi running MM. I learned that quickly enough. :-)

maxbachmann

@Mykle1 since I need some more raspi anyways I might just give it a 3b+ so I have a bit more power (I am at stable 83% cpu usage so the 17% should help a bit) and a already included cooler

@justjim1220 said in Hello-Lucy:

When you get it installed on your Atom device, I would definitely like to know your outcome!

I have ubuntu, MM, and Hello Lucy running on a POS EeePC. The thing was ready for the trash. Amazing how well it runs now. Oh yeah, it’s an Atom processor.

@mykle1

Yeah, I’m just really stubborn im this old age I getting to… Still bound and determined to get it to run on Windows somehow!!!

I may be 75 or 90 by the time I figure it out, But, I ain’t giving up!!! :smiling_face_with_horns:

maxbachmann

@Mykle1 without cooler I am at stable 77-78 degree I would say that sucks lol

@justjim1220 Lol just use windows for the stuff it"s made for (I guess like the name already implies it"s for throwing it out of the window) :smiling_face_with_horns:

Mykle1

@justjim1220

Well, I wish you luck. I tried (half-heartedly) to get MM-voice and Hello Lucy to run under Windows. Once I got comfortable with ubuntu I realized the benefits where MM is concerned

With a simple fan my Pi mirror runs at a constant 43C

maxbachmann

@Mykle1 In general the only reason I still use Windows is because Autodesk still does not have linux versions for the CAD software lol

maxbachmann

@Mykle1 just took a cooler from a old PCB I had laying around and some thermal compound. saved me 25 degree

@maxbachmann

I’m not suggesting that you abandon Windows. I still have my Windows machine, too. I mean where MM is concerned. Do you need to have Autodesk and the CAD software running with MM?

Excellent!

maxbachmann

@mykle1 ah no I mean in general. I wanted to drop windows already for months ;) But since I need the CAD software I can’t lol maybe I will go over to linux and put windows into a VM just for CAD Software
