      I know that, and that is why I was using it that way.
      There is a method to my madness.
      I figured if I left it running (minimized) I could find what was causing my black screen with the mouse pointer on it. I guess it just opened up everyones pm2 usage information… I am still looking what is causing this to happen randomly. As in it may not happen for days and then it may happen a couple times a day.
      I guess I need to find a way to monitor when it freezes and have it auto restart mm.

      Slow learner. But trying anyways.

        @sdetweil If I didn’t need a breadboard for testing the button circuits I’m adding, it could be done the way you say. I’m not working on the appearance of my mirror, If I were then I’d do as you suggest. I’m working on adding hardware buttons and a new module to make them function the way I want.

        I find it easier to just remove the pi, take it to my desktop where I have a very wide monitor. And where I can play with wiring, breadboard, resisitors, buttons etc. I added the following to my config

        electronOptions: {
        		fullscreen: false,
        		width: 950,
        		height: 950
        	},
        

        so I can have mm running on one quarter of my screen, I have plenty of room for geany on the other and a terminal window, etc. then can just f5 or ctrl+r when I want to test.

          @plainbroke did you look at your pm2 logs? Sam really helped me by explaining where to look. I’ll bet it’s a module.

              @kayakbabe yes requiring hardware makes it another challenge…
