A problem about MMM-BMW-DS
-
@sdetweil
Thank you.I took your suggestion to modify the code, but it doesn’t seem to work.:face_with_cold_sweat: -
@zokiya open the developers window, ctrl-shift-i on the keyboard, select the tab labeled console, and scroll up to see any errors, usually red text.

@sdetweil said in A problem about MMM-BMW-DS:
number to the right of : should not have quotes… turns them into strings
In this case, they ARE stings. The OP’s config example is rife with syntax errors. So, I corrected it, tested it, confirmed its validity and posted it, minus the API key. :thumbsup:
-
@Mykle1 hmmmmm, need to learn, never correct a module author!
-
Please follow sdetweil’s suggestion to look for errors. Again, if you copy and paste the following config entry directly into your config it should avoid the syntax errors. Enter your API key EXACTLY. This is very important.
{ disabled: false, module: "MMM-BMW-DS", position: "bottom_bar", // bottom_bar is best config: { apiKey: "YOUR API KEY GOES HERE", // Free API key @ darksky.net tempUnits: "F", // MUST BE CAPITAL LETTER C or F lat: '31.318889', lng: '121.395', css: "1", // 1=default, 2=Clean, 3=Lord of the Rings, 4=handwriting, 5=Julee, 6=Englebert, "" = returns default css ownTitle: "Current Conditions", // Use your own language and statement playSounds: "yes", // yes = weather sounds, no = no weather sounds useHeader: false, header: "Your header", maxWidth: "100%", } }, -

Feel free to correct me any time you like. :-)
I’ve learned much by being corrected. :thumbsup:
-
Your modules are excellent :)
- Off topic but does Hello-Lucy still work? I’ve installed it but always starts off with blank screen - even when I put hide all - false. Mic works but no response. I start with saying hello lucy and then Show - your key words like HOROSCOPE. Any help would be GREATLY Appreciated!

Thank you for your kind words. :thumbsup:
Off topic but does Hello-Lucy still work?
Yes, in fact I’ve just finished a substantial upgrade. You’ve installed recently?
Please paste your config entry in a code block ( </> in menu) so I can take a look at it.
-

Ok, the config is fine. I just tested it.
- When you say Hello Lucy, the microphone icon does not start pulsing?
- Have you installed and enabled the modules that are named in the config?
-
Hi, Yes, modules are set to disabled: false
Also, I don’t see any microphone icon and even with starthideall at false - still blank on boot up screen?
i can hear my microphone through my speaker when I talk so mic seems to be working
unless, I’m not suppose to hear my voice on speaker?
-
startHideAll: false, if true, all modules start as hidden
First, you need to comment out after the comma if you are using this line. The entire line is commented out in your example. If you uncomment that line then the module will error.I don’t see any microphone icon and even with starthideall at false - still blank on boot up screen?
Then the module is not loading. You should see the microphone icon along with, Say, ‘Hello Lucy’ on screen.

That seems odd. Mine does not do that. I don’t know if that’s a problem
Start your mirror using
npm start devand then click the console tab in the window that opens. Scroll to find any errors in red and report -
I Just heard “Hello Michael What would you like to see”
:)
It seems I was missing lmtool which I just installed
-
OK, getting closer :)
says under mic icon
Initializing then undefined so it seems I just have to get mic to work
-
Did you not follow the readme on how to install the dependencies?
-
OK, that might be the problem because for some reason all the modules were installed in
modules/default
so when I bash dependencies, it says it couldn’t find the /modules/Hello-Lucy folder
I moved the Hello-Lucy folder to modules - ran bash dependencies.sh again but no go :(
Thank you for any help !!! I’m a retired computer science teacher that wont’s to keep on learning :)
-
@Mykle1 I just copied and pasted the code you corrected, reset my API, and copied and pasted it, but it didn’t work. I checked the developer window and there are only two warnings, and they don’t seem to have anything to do with this module. I checked my Dark Sky console and it shows that my API has not been called. Now I suspect that there is a problem with my network.

The only modules that belong in the modules/default folder are the default modules from the MagicMirror installation. All additional modules should be installed into the modules folder itself, not the default folder. Each repo should have directions for installation.
cd MagicMIrror/modulesbeing the most commonso when I bash dependencies, it says it couldn’t find the /modules/Hello-Lucy folder
Because the installer expects to find Hello-Lucy where it belongs.
I moved the Hello-Lucy folder to modules - ran bash dependencies.sh again but no go
No go, meaning what? Errors? Where did you run that command?

Do you have other modules that are calling an API. Are they working? Please let me know when you’ve confirmed your internet is working and we’ll get MMM-BMW-DS working for you.

Hi, I hear the voice at startup but mic says “Undefined” under it - line through indicating mic not found? I can record and play back at the command line and USB sound card same as yours.
Do you think it could be a dependency that wasn’t installed?
Thank you again for your help
