      I had my MM working well… But all of a sudden when I modify one of the modules when I restart MM the module doesn’t show. I’ve had this happen with 6 of the 7 modules I had installed. Those I had installed were:
      Clock
      Calendar
      MMM-Remote-Control
      MMM-Weather
      MMM -WeatherForcast
      MMM-NewFeedTicker
      MMM-RAIN-RADAR
      MMM-Remote-Control

      The only one that returned after reinstalling was the MMM-WallPaper. I of course have rebooted and power off and on several times to no avail. All were working fine until I started modifying the position because they were cramped the way they were. I’m to the point where I am thinking I need to format the chip and start from scratch. But if I do that, I can’t help but think it will happen again.
      Anyone have an idea on what to try?
      Thanks
      Dennis

        @N6NG Well here is the story. I erased that module and started from scratch and put it back in. But it still didn’t show up on the MM. Here is what I found. In repositioning the individual screen locations they ended up overlaying other modules on the screen and rather than overlaying the visual of the other module it just didn’t show. When I went back and shrunk the size of the modules on the screen (going from ie: 400px by 400px to 200 px by 200 px it showed up again. I did this with other of the modules and they showed up again also. I haven’t finished all of them yet but I think it’s going to fix them all. I think that should solve all my invisible module problems.

            @N6NG you reinstalled??

            most of those modules are missing a dependent library

            see
            https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/15778/fix-for-black-screen-in-2-16-and-later

            upgrade handles this for you. install does not, as the modules aren’t there yet

              @sdetweil Well I did ok until I started installing the MMM-RAIN-RADAR module again. Then I got this error message.

                  @sdetweil followed the links and finally the npm install:

                    @N6NG Looks like you are doing an npm install MMM-RAIN-RADAR. This is not an npmjs module. In the ~/MagicMirror/modules folder you have to do a git clone https://github.com/jojoduquartier/MMM-RAIN-RADAR.git. From the github page doesn’t look like there are any dependencies to install afterward. Then just add module to you config.js and you should be good to go with it.

                      @mumblebaj he had the git clone, just added the module name to the npm install for some reason…

                      he seems to have fixed that…

                        @sdetweil Ah ok. Module does not have any dependencies to install hence i thought he did it wrong way round.

                          @mumblebaj no package.json, so nothing to do and nothing gets done
