@luisestrada ça donne un bon résultat? Vous pouvez voir les prochaines autobus près de chez vous ou des destinations pré-établies? J’avais suivi un guide pour l’intégrer mais avec les 10000 api de Google, j’ai jamais réussi à le faire fonctionner! Le guide était un peut vieux dans un anglais louche et j’avais de la difficulté à trouvé l’équivalent en français. J’ai abandonné pour l’instant l’intégration Google. Mais là mon MM m’a lâché!

@jonathanperron Avec l’application que j’utilise, je peux voir à quelle heure j’arrive dans une destination spécifique, et aussi à quelle heure le bus quitte l’arrêt de bus où j’habite. Généralement, ces données peuvent être dues à l’horaire du bus mais aussi si le bus dispose d’un GPS.
Tu peux voir ci-dessous à quelle heure passe le bus: Próximo bus … (en espagnol :face_with_hand_over_mouth: )
La partie la plus difficile à comprendre était de configurer l’API. Je peut vous aider.
Désolé pour mon français

This looks very nice indeed.
Can you say what the two weather apps on the bottom left and right are and what modifications you made there? I didn’t find those on the git.
Thanks

@MajorC
Hello,
The left panel is the default weather module with minors modifications that can be found on the repository: https://github.com/seb-ma/eInkFrame/blob/master/magicmirror_files/patches/MagicMirror.patchAnd the chart on the right is the module I made and shown here: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/17604/mmm-weatherchartd3
Both of them rely on modifications I made on weather provider to retrieve pollution (only openweather is currently supported). And I also did another modification on openweather provider to fetch all data once instead of having multiple calls to the API.
Finally, I also did a module that acts as a proxy to weather provider to avoid a call to weather API each time a module wants data (openweather and others are limiting the number of calls by day, thus this helps having more updates without reaching the limit): https://github.com/seb-ma/mmm-weatherproviderunique

Thank you. Then I will try the components next time.

@Matuki Thank you for sharing. I’m in the process of doing something similar: your code is a godsend!
-
perfect github page, thank you a lot!
I’m following your instructions, but can’t see the step where we get Magic mirror to display on the e-ink panel.
setting resolution etc. am I missing a step? -
@nat-andrews hello,
The display is done by the module I wrote: https://github.com/seb-ma/MMM-IT8951
The configuration is done like any module: https://github.com/seb-ma/eInkFrame/blob/4defe289e4ebbc873d0e68418e278ff21a976e08/magicmirror_files/config.js#L81
And the resolution is automatically found when initializing driver.
It can be forced in config file when using mock for tests:electronOptions: { fullscreen: true, width: 1872, height: 1404 }Be sure to set the correct value of VCOM to not damage your eink.
Also, I never had success running my module without the root user. So, unless you find a way (this interest me) you must run MagicMirror as root.I let you read the readme of the MMM-IT8951 module, but if you need more details or have some questions, let me know.

edited to correct behavior on resolution -
@Matuki Thanks again for you help with this. I’m trying to get my eink working without the touch pads.
Can I confirm how you run the mirror as root? Just using sudo? Also the VCOM needs to be given to the MMM-IT8951 module as “driverParam: { VCOM: -1.25 },” in the config? I didn’t see anything about this in the instructions.
Thanks!

@Matuki Also just wondering what version of nodejs you need and why? Just checking whether I need a new version of nodejs or if RPi distribution has caught up?
