Facial Recognition - customize your mirror for every user!

[s1084836]

Hello, First of all thanks a lot for building this great module!

I am trying to get it to work, I’ve installed the module and it looks like It doens’t start:

Output when I start the NPM:

`pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm start

magicmirror@2.0.0 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
electron js/electron.js
Loading config ...
Loading module helpers ...
Initializing new module helper ...

Connecting socket for: camera
camera helper started ...
Connecting socket for: MMM-Facial-Recognition
Staring module helper: MMM-Facial-Recognition
Sockets connected & modules started ...
Launching application.

`
It looks like its installed fine, because of the starting module helper: MMM-Facial-Recognition.
But I am not getting the normal output like I see by other people:
[MMM-Facial-Recognition] Facerecognition started...
[MMM-Facial-Recognition] Loading training data...

My Config.json file:

var config = {

if (typeof module !== 'undefined') {module.exports = config;}

Is there anything I’m doing wrong ? :D

@paviro thanks creating such a cool module!
I have followed the instructions to capture the training images and have successfully created a training.xml file :)

When I add the MMM-Facial-Recognition module to my Magic Mirror config.js file I get “WARNING! Could not validate config file. Please correct syntax errors. Starting with default configuration” in the terminal and the Magic Mirror shows an error page saying config.js not found.

My config.js is:

var config = {
	port: 8080,

	language: 'en',
	timeFormat: 12,
	units: 'metric',

	modules: [
		
//-------------------------------------------------
		{
			module: 'clock',
			position: 'top_left'
			classes: 'everyone'
		},
//-------------------------------------------------		
		{
			module: 'compliments',
			position: 'lower_third'
			classes: 'andy'
		},
//-------------------------------------------------		
		{
			module: 'MMM-Facial-Recognition',
			config: {
				recognitionAlgorithm: 1,		
				lbphThreshold: 50,			
				fisherThreshold: 250,			
				eigenThreshold: 3000,			
				useUSBCam: false,			
				trainingFile: '/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Facial-Recognition/training.xml',	
				interval: 3,				
				logoutDelay: 15,			
				users: ['andy'],			
				defaultClass: "default",		
				everyoneClass: "everyone"		
			}
		},		
//-------------------------------------------------
	]

};

/*************** DO NOT EDIT THE LINE BELOW ***************/
if (typeof module !== 'undefined') {module.exports = config;}

If I comment out " classes: ‘everyone’ " and " classes: ‘andy’ " in the other modules the MagicMirror loads with no errors but blank black screen.

Any ideas what’s causing this ?
Thanks

@awarrington It seems like you’ve missed the comma’s at the end of the line where the position is for the clock and compliments module here:

		{
			module: 'clock',
			position: 'top_left', <--
			classes: 'everyone'
		},

[awarrington]

@rvdgeer Thank you! All works perfectly now

Hi everyone,

my module is working fine and i can loggin with my user
Module with class everyone and default are loading fine.

But for module with my class 'Kevin" it doesnt work.

i have this error "ught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘toLowerCase’ of undefined

my ame class is the same as my user (copy paste)
did i miss something ?

thanksssss

[tidus5]

Hey :D

little UP - im becoming crazy.
i read and read an read again - add… inside config.js (mirror module) or config.py (model tester)
so users : [‘kevin’]… and the config.py is needed if i want to test with the recognition-tools

right ?
i see if the MMM-Facial use “everyone” or “kevin” that doesnt work

[Escenda]

I got this problem as well. I had it working but just got a spy cam and had to rpi-update today. Now only “everyone” and “default” classes work. Starting a module with a custom class doesnt work anymore for some reason?

Hey everyone,

I have also followed the instructions referring taking pics and creating the training file.

If I “start” the MagicMirror nothing happened - only white screen.
If I “start” it without the MMM module (commented it out) everything is working.

Here my config.js:

var config = {
	port: 8080,

	language: 'de',
	timeFormat: 24,
	units: 'metric',

			}
		},
//------------------------------------------------------------------------
		{
			module: 'compliments',
