Magic Mirror with touchscreen Display/Monitor

sdetweil

@core but this is effectively the same as the ir frame… the special touchfoil does the work… NOT the monitor…

I have a 24" one that after I bought it found out that it will not work in Linux so my only option is to install MM on Windows … ugh. So when I can come across a NUC or something small I will until then …

@Snille Hi Snille
I have had greate use of xin.sh file to run at start. It contained the:
“DISPLAY=:0.0 xinput --set-prop “Multi touch Multi touch overlay device” “Coordinate Transformation Matrix” 0 1 0 -1 0 1 0 0 1”
However, now using the pm2 start xin.sh for automatic start, I get an error in the pm2 log
What do you use to correct the ir-frame ?
Best

@BJK what is the error?

@sdetweil

Well, I start the xin.sh with PM2 and it works with calibrating the IR-frame:

xin.sh:
#!/bin/bash
DISPLAY=:0.0 xinput --set-prop “Multi touch Multi touch overlay device” “Coordinate Transformation Matrix” 0 -1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1

However, after the mm.sh (the MagicMirror) has started, then when I go back to Raspberry disktop the the Calibration is off again. If I then run the xin.sh with “pm2 start xin.sh” in a terminal window then the calibration is okay again.

This is the error that I get from pm2 log file:

Should I do something else with pm2 or run the xin.sh in an other way?

It would be so nice to have i done automatically :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

It would be so nice to have i done automatically 😁

the mm.sh file:
cd ~/MagicMirror
DISPLAY=:0 npm start

sdetweil

@BJK first

do
pm2 save

to sync the disk list with the memory list of things pm2 manages

then do

pm2 info 0

to get the startup info from the task definition

we’re you running as root ( or using sudo ) when u did the pm2 start xin.sh?

BJK

@BJK

Regarding: “we’re you running as root ( or using sudo ) when u did the pm2 start xin.sh?”

I just wrote “pm2 start xin.sh”,and then “pm2 start mm.sh” and then at last “pm2 save”

Should I have used “sudo pm2 start xin.sh” ?

sdetweil

@BJK no… NEVER use sudo for anything unless you know WHY you are doing it…

and you were logged on as user pi, right?

BJK

@BJK
and you were logged on as user pi, right?
Well, instead of user pi, I am user Bo. So my home directory is like home/Bo/MagicMirror/modules…
But any idea about the xin.sh error? Would it help to let pm2 just run the xin.sh once?
