Black Screen

[MassiveArts 0]

Good day,

I would like to have MMM-Google Fit on my Smart Mirror. I have installed that too, but I have a black screen. But it starts in the black picture

"

	{
		module: "weather",
		position: "top_right",
		header: "Weather Forecast",
		config: {
			weatherProvider: "openweathermap",
			type: "forecast",
			location: "New York",
			locationID: "5128581", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
			apiKey: "YOUR_OPENWEATHER_API_KEY"
		}
	},
	
	{
		module: 'MMM-GoogleFit',
		position: 'position',
		config: {
			// If desired
	}
	},
	
]

};

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

@massivearts-0 the way you posted it, the forum corrupted it.

Please place ``` around the code next time.

That being said, go to the magicmirror directory, and type:

npm run config:check

It’ll help you solve the errors.

@massivearts-0 you must be in the MagicMirror directory.

pi@officemirror:~ $ cd MagicMirror/
pi@officemirror:~/MagicMirror $ npm run config:check

> magicmirror@2.16.0 config:check /home/pi/MagicMirror
> node js/check_config.js

@massivearts-0 back down to ~/MagicMirror/ and try the command there. Also, the config file should be at ~/MagicMirror/config/config.js

Didn’t work

@massivearts-0 open a terminal window onto the pi

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm run check:config

but as I said on discord
we need to see the messages that are output when u start MagicMirror

you either do
npm start
or pm2 start

if pm2 then the command to display the logs is
pm2 logs --lines=100

the black screen is probably a missing dependency module, and the messages will tell us which one

Maybe position: ‘position’, is your problem add a location on mirror like “top_left”

[sdetweil]

@djboob66 yes, he had “top_Bar” before, but that is not the black screen

maybe no content displayed as mm can’t figure out where to put it

system is case sensitive
