MMM-Facial-Recognition with PiCam doesn't start

  • B

    We’re using PiCam for MMM-Facial-Recognition
    The camera works well with capture and training but when we start MagicMirror code the picam doesn’t start
    If anyone has any solution please reply fast we have to submit our project soon

    Same here, I’m getting the following errors on python tools.facerecognition.py

    Remember to set the name list environment variable FACE_USERS

    After more fiddling, I get this in terminal:

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
