      Hello,

      Thanks for building this great module. When I run the “npm start” I keep getting the following message:

      [MMM-Facial-Recognition] Webcam Found...
      [MMM-Facial-Recognition] User undefined with confidence null logged in.
      [MMM-Facial-Recognition] User undefined logged out.
      [MMM-Facial-Recognition] User undefined with confidence null logged in.
      [MMM-Facial-Recognition] User undefined logged out.
      [MMM-Facial-Recognition] User undefined with confidence null logged in.
      

      Sometimes it regoonizes my face, but it is like a 1/1000 change. I’m wondering why, when I run the test script my it recognizes my face really fast and always. I uploaded like 350 photo’s. I’ve tryed diffrend back grounds, with enough light.

      I just dont understand why it won’t see my face while the test script is 95% of the time right.

      My config File:

              Hey,

              my issue is, i cannt select my USB Cam.
              I set “useUSBCam” to “true”, but still get piCam as the choosen one. (PiCam ausgewählt)

              		    module: 'MMM-Facial-Recognition',

              		        // Logout delay after last recognition so that a user does not get instantly logged out if he turns away from the mirror for a few seconds
              		        logoutDelay: 15,
              		        // Array with usernames (copy and paste from training script)
              		        users: ['Yakko'],
              		        //Module set used for strangers and if no user is detected
              		        defaultClass: "default",
              		        //Set of modules which should be shown for every user
              		        everyoneClass: "everyone",
              		        // Boolean to toggle welcomeMessage
              		        welcomeMessage: true
              		    }
              		},
              

              Any Ideas how to force it to take my USB cam?
              Thanks,
              Yakko

                  I have not loaded this on the mirror yet but did you change the face users and algorithm on the mirror and it’s config?

                  I’m having an issue where if I train it to recognize two different people the test script recognizes both as the same person :(

                    Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

                      Actually I found a problem in the config.py

                      If I comment out the line i= min(0, i-1) and return i-1 in the user_label method it works… Now just want to make sure we don’t get an index out of bounds…

                      Not terribley familiar with python. So what does that min(int, int) do exactly

                        Hi, I seem to be having an issue when trying to implement the face recognition tester. When I run the tester on the file I am getting an error, I cannot seem to resolve it.

                        This is what displays in terminal:

                        Loading training data...
                        
                        ALGORITHM: LBPH
                        
                        Training data loaded!
                        
                        Picam selected...
                        
                        Traceback (most recent call last):
                        
                        File "facerecognition.py", line 61, in 
                        
                        label, confidence = model.predict(crop)
                        
                        TypeError: 'int' object is not iterable
                        

                        My picamera stays active but I can see that it has stopped on my face in the background, Do you have any idea how to resolve this issue, as I am at a loss here.
