@Neebotol is MM working ok now?

@sdetweil Hello! thank you for the way you’re helping people in this project.

I just solved the problem tonight after more than 20 hours on it! It was really stupid, I used another SD card and it just worked. (I don’t understand too much because the SD card I was using until now was of good quality)

Have a good day!

@Neebotol great work!! Yeh, having a bad card will.make things very challenging.

Thanks for the feedback

Hey @sdetweil,

Forgot I did not get back to you. After much testing it was not feasible to use an rpi zero. Actually the ram/memory was ok, the main limitation was the cpu.

I was using htop to monitor this during boot and normal usage, is was constantly at 100%. This caused really slow boot time and could not load the modules fully even if left for several hours.

As soon as I went back to my rpi3 with the same modules it started very quick in comparison with no boot issues.

@NathTheDude thank you for the feedback. Yes Pi 0 is really limited in what it can do.

@NathTheDude using the new run-start.sh which launches chrome to connect to the MM serverOnly instance… I see 45% usage in htop for the initial config.

electron has become unavailable for armv6l and node >8, so we’ve had to go split mode

Hi,

Do anyone know if the link bash -c “$(curl -sL https://www.dropbox.com/s/izj6dz2z9557oga/raspberry.sh?dl=0)” can be found elsewhere?

It worked great on Raspberry Pi (1) but now it’s 404:-/

Thanks

@PinkPumpkin the scripts were moved to
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

As they were removed from the last release

This was also corrected on the 1st post of this topic.
