Change to another SD with bigger size

This might be a stupid answer, but have you tried Expand filesystem in raspi-config ?

Hello sean,
the question is not stupid. I tried but there is no choice in raspi config, because I use noobs. That is also the reason why does fdisk cant write new partitionetable after reboot.

Maybe this could be help, I wish.

@hakupapa do you have another machine in the house where u can put your pictures, and then have the image modules show from there? I do this

install the samba client, mount the remote volume and then use a symbolic link to it.

I so liked how this worked out, I built a photo frame with MM, MMM-ImagePhotos (or ImageSlideShow with multiple linked folders), a 32 in tv and a pi…

added my MMM-SleepWake (to use my webcam as the motion detector)

@hakupapa said in Change to another SD with bigger size:

I´ve changed to this
getPhotos: function() {
var urlApHelper = “/media/pi/B82B-6FB6/fotos”;
var self = this;
var retry = true;

right… the design of both modules depends on the data being IN the modules folder tree

so, as u have it linked already… just (from the MM folder)

mkdir modules/MMM-ImagesPhotos/my_fotos
ln -s modules/MMM-ImagesPhotos/my_fotos  /media/pi/B82B-6FB6/fotos

then the path modules/MMM-ImagesPhotos/my_fotos can show your photos…

@sean
thx for the link. I tried something like this. But this is much harder and there were a lot of possible mistakes I could make. I think it is easyer to reinstall a new raspian an the magicmirror. I had never thougt, that there is no easy way to move to a bigger sd card, but it seems to be this way.
