@barenakedchicken and u have bad internet there? I am from farmington, a mere 30 miles east of you.
UofM should drag the best internet to your location.
everything MagicMirror requires internet
-
You’d think, but I live on a farm. As a network engineer, I have exhausted all possibilities of any kind of broadband and fibre service here. We have satellite on one side of the property and LTE on the other side. Satellite just sucks, and the LTE is at 1 bar.

@barenakedchicken satallite does suck for sure. suffered thru HughesNet for a year.
I can get u a configured SD Card but without network, your gonna be in the same boat, trying to add modules or get info downloaded.
-
Are there no offline modules I could use? I’m literally trying to create a local bulletin board to put out in the barns, not exactly a mirror
-
@barenakedchicken i have no idea… see the chat i started with you
-
@barenakedchicken you could write a module that reads from the local SD disk space… course without network support you will have to find a way to update… maybe usb stick as disk,

I tried flashing magicmirroros. I managed to get ssh running and the wpa_supplicant to get on the wifi. All I get on the console is a blank screen.
As I was unable to get anything to work, I tried updating using sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts but it says the pi zero is not supported.
I’m completely lost now.

@eracerhead said in MagicMirrorOS starts up with blank screen:
sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts but it says the pi zero is not supported.
u just reply yes, it keeps going… MM does 'support’s Pi3 and 4 now… but I make it work other places
u don’t need MM OS… just flash Raspi OS Buster, run my script…
-
@sdetweil Thank you for sharing your scripts. Will try today.
Do you know if there a way to provide the Raspi OS with the WiFi SSID and password without logging into Raspi desktop environment? Like in a text file or so? -
