Blank Screen on Pi 1 after successful Install

[BenRoe]

Which node.js Version is installed? Maybe this is the problem.

[chase]

v0.10.29

[BenRoe]

Try a newer node version.
Here is a blog post (unfortunately  in german) how to install the latest version. Deinstall the node before you install the newer version.

Thanks for the blog post! I’m now on 4.2.1, but I’m still getting a black screen after a boot. Here’s a picture from chrome. I would attach a picture of the actual thing, but it’s a monitor with a black screen.

I really appreciate all the help

Should the url contain the port? 192.168.0.7:8080?

Just got back home and gave that a shot. I get a refused to connect error there.

Maybe i found the problem. I am working on a FHEM module for MM. I changed the config.js and had a wrong module name in it. After reload the screen was black.
@chase please check your config.js for spelling or json format errors.

I’ll give it a look over. Also just for reference I followed this tutorial to set it up https://www.reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi/comments/3oktfu/magic_mirror_how_to/

I couldn’t find anything, but I did find something strange. I pulled my config file out and once again got the please setup your file screen. So I made a copy config file and replaced it’s contents with the sample config file code and reuploaded it. Black screen again. Should that have shown something?

@chase Yes. The sample config file should at least show you the clock and the basic compliments. If you update it with your openweathermap key it should show you weather. Curious.

Also, yes the URL should contain the 8080 port.
