    @pillaresci 1st rule of config.js club.
    Always make a backup of your config.js LOL

    Does it work before you change and put your own info in the weather module?

      @pillaresci

      I’m trying to modify the weather module for my location (North Carolina instead of New York). I replaced the openweather ID and API key in the config file but when I start up Magic Mirror that module is stuck on “loading” so I am assuming I’ve done something wrong. At a minimum would just like to get that working,

      You can post your configuration (entire contents or just the parts of weather module). We can check what was wrong.

      try to have the calendar pull from my work, Office 365 calendar (working on a method I found through here were I import it into Google Calendar and then go from there)

      The first to do is find the iCal(*.ics) feed URL of your target calendar service.

      add modules (haven’t figured out which ones yet, but the link provided below on adding modules looks to be helpful)

      Usually, module developers provide how-to-install (README.md) document in their module repository.

      however, what isn’t clear is how I stop that? If I remove the raspberry pi to add modules or make changes, how do I get out of the Magic Mirror (control Q?).

      It depends on what method you use. I assume you are using pm2 to manage MM’s running. You can connect MM remotely. After connection, type pm2 stop all, it will stop current MM’s execution.

        @pillaresci every module config setup is the same

             {
                 module:'modulename',
                 position:'where to put it',
                 disabled: true or false
                 config:  {
                     the options that the module describes
                      one per line
                       keyword: value
                  }
              }

          @pillaresci if you are using a keyboard on the pi, you can minimize mm with alt-spacebar, n
          (same as on windows to minimize a full screen app)

            Using the Office 365 calendar should be easy.

            if you’re using a calendar that shows up on https://outlook.live.com/, you can get an ICS to the file easily, by going to https://outlook.live.com/calendar/0/options/calendar/SharedCalendars.

            From there, use the publish links to grab the ICS file and path for MM.

            The "E" in "Javascript" stands for "Easy"

              @sdetweil You know, not including the ending comma (optional, I know) is gonna mess 'em up when they go to add more than one module…
