MMM-RAIN-MAP (new: version 2.x)

requiemmg

I really like this module, but I fear that the memory issue still persists.
Just cloned the repo, the module runs fine for some minutes or up to one hour, then the Raspi freezes. I am running on a 1GB 3B+ with 4 pages.
Anything you can do about it?

@requiemmg since I updated the pi to a Pi 4 4GB have no issues at all…came from a pi3 1GB too

@requiemmg
yepp, as @rubenix mentioned, 1GB memory is unfortunately too little :-/
On my Raspi 4, 4GB it just works perfectly fine.

I already tried to optimize the rendering to get it working with limited resources, but without success ¯\(ツ)/¯

@Jalibu & @requiemmg was tempted to go for the 8GB one, but I can confirm 4Gb is more than enought; go for it and use the pi3 for another project :love-you_gesture_light_skin_tone:

@rubenix u can make the swap space bigger too, helps in some environments

rubenix

@sdetweil i agree with that and sure it helps; but a pi 4 4Gb goes so smoth!!
pi3 1gb its ok for a simple magic mirror; for a complex one with transitions / animations it needs more gauge!

Great module. It’s running fantastically on my PI4.

Okay, for now I will not switch to a 4gb version. So I need to remember this one for “later”. Thanks.

I just tried this out. Thank you for the excellent module! Exactly what I was looking for.

Now if I could just get a dark theme going. I’m cool with the rain being in color, but it would be nice if I could figure out how to get the roads & state borders to only be outlines.
