How I got my Magic Mirror working on a Raspberry Pi 0 (zero)
-
@piziie if you want I can post my image and you can write my image to your sd
-
@bhepler pm2 doesnt appear to be installed, however i do have npm installed. Could that cause a conflict?
Any way to the sources from which start the mirror process is starting?
Also i may have created a conflict by following the OP steps as well as the steps outlined by @kobie
Also… Instead of adding start.sh to the end of .bashrc, it’s better practice to have the script run automatically on start-up. To do this: sudo mv /home/pi/start.sh /etc/init.d/startMagicMirror.sh sudo update-rc.d startMagicMirror.sh defaults 100 This moves the script to the standard location for start-up scripts and tells the system to run it after each boot.I went back and deleted the startMagicMirror.sh file, however. Does update-rc.d need to be rolled back as well?
-
@piziie That sounds right. Without tracing too closely, it sounds like your
startMagicMirror.shscripts and yourstart.shscript are both starting the mirror process. -
@bhepler after deleting startMagicMirror.sh the same problem exists
-
@piziie After you deleted the
startMagicMirror.shdid you run the update command you quoted?
sudo update-rc.d startMagicMirror.sh remove
(more information at the the update-rc man page) -
@bhepler i have run that command, same issue persists.
Could it have something to do with VNCserver? -
I have MM2 running quite well on my Pi3 but I’d like to free up the Pi3 and use my zero for the MM2. Has anyone seen any real downsides to using the Pi Zero over the Pi3?
-
@Mar compared to the Pi3 the processing power is way lower, so from that point of view some modules wouldnt work properly. That said, for the ‘stock’ modules and API driven modules it should all work fine. Besides that the installing process is a bit more difficult as you can read above ;)
-
@Wieber Thanks, I would be using the Button module, PIR sensor module, Wunderlist module, and I want to try adding the Alexa module once i transfer it over to the Pi?
Another thing I was thinking would be to integrate this into my openhab setup to bring in the status of various sensors.
-
I have another question. How could i get into the terminal when the pi goes right into the browser? I cant ssh into it for some reason so is there anyway to exit the browser and go into the terminal?
-
@SebTota Try
CTRL+ALT+F2(note: I have not tried this myself, but it works on other systems I use) -
Yet another question. I tried all other forums but i cant find my answer so I figured id ask here. If i have jessie lite with just the terminal, can I open up a file explorer to copy and paste a folder. I need to copy two folders over but I cant figure out how to do it.
-
@SebTota
cp -r source destination -
Did anyone get
https://github.com/HackerHouseYT/AI-Smart-Mirror
working on a pi zero. I know its made for a Mac but I`ve been trying somethings and cant succeed to replicate it on the Pi 0. People claim they got it working by following those instructions but im lost on how to install ffmpeg. If anyone got it working on the Pi 0 please share how.
-
If i don’t currently have a monitor is there a way for me to test the output of the MM when running on the zero with Raspbian lite via VNC ?
-
@Mar if your running Jessie full you can SSH into the RPI and enable vnc
-
@SebTota yeah i realized that, but have a pi zero running lite as i dont require full. was hoping that if i did install vnc and all the dependencies if it would be possible to vnc in and see the mirror as it would in a monitor?
-
@Mar I have tried myself with no success. Let me know if you figure it out.
-
-
@Mar you can’t just copy and paste the drive. Download win32diskimager and read the SD card to a new .ISO file on your pc
