MMM-DHT-Sensor stopped working
-
@sdetweil I was mainly curious to understand how it broke.
I look at these MM’s as these totally encapsulated hardware/module systems where say you built one two years ago, used whatever rendition of Pi+MM+modules were out at the time. You plugged it in and off to the races.IF you leave it alone, don’t update Pi, don’t update MM, it should run forever (technically) until something in the hardware breaks.
So I’m always intrigued as a learning thing for me is just to understand what were the circumstances around “It has run for years and It just quit working”
-
@ankonaskiff17 ok. I understand your approach
-
@sdetweil Now if I had a magic wand I could wave and this ALT issue would go up in a puff of smoke that would be nice too.
-
@ankonaskiff17 never ever tried it. the official keystroke is alt and spacebar
-
@sdetweil This is where ALT comes from. First one I built I did on my own with no guidance and I expect it is why you have seen other people saying ALT doesn’t work anymore. I can only work off the documentation. Documents said hit ALT key, I hit ALT key and it works.
-
@ankonaskiff17 cool. never read that part of the doc.
also says you can’t install over ssh, but it’s the ONLY way I install mm., ever
-
I can build my digital picture frame without going though a bunch of gyrations and that was my goal so I’m content. 3 - 4 days ago that looked grim.
Now to look into your comment about a server for all my pictures and see what that requires.
Stuff I’m likely ignorant of at this moment I’m sure. -
@ankonaskiff17 i had a spare machine, installed linux 10 years ago… have a 5tb external drive with the pics and and a lot of other stuff…
share via samba (windows file sharing)and mount that on the pi (line in /etc/fstab)
ends up in /media/{username}/…configed_namethen u can link (ln) to map in to a folder some other place with a new name…
-
@ankonaskiff17 Yes sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade. Other modules work again just the DHT wont work :(
-
Fixed it. Updating the magic mirror itself did the trick.
