Blackscreen after install MMM-PIR-Sensor

[Blackmirror]

Hello,

it’s my first entry here.

I will start to build a MagicMirror and I have a Problem with the MMM-PIR_Sensor Modul.

I have installed and have no problems at the install, but will the Mirror start I see only a black screen. When I move the mouse at the raspberry I can see the mouse arrow.

When I unmarker the PIR-Module lines in the config.js . I can see the normal Mirror.

[cowboysdude]

post your config.js minus any keys so we can take a peek…

[Blackmirror]

Here, but I think it is not a problem with the config.js, because when I have the module in the config.js include and deinstall the module in Magicmirror/modules I can see the Mirror:

var config = {
        port: 8080,
        ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1"],

//      {
//              module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
//              config: {

@Blackmirror said in Blackscreen after install MMM-PIR-Sensor:

// {
// module: ‘MMM-PIR-Sensor’,
// config: {
// relayGpio: ‘26’,
// relayOnState: ‘0’,
// powerSaving: false,
// // See ‘Configuration options’ for more information.
// },
// },

Right off the top here is an issue :) should only have one }, :) Like this below…
It has too many }, so it’s stopping at the first one then errors out because it goes to the next }, as a new line and that creates your problem. :)

{
module: ‘MMM-PIR-Sensor’,
config: {
relayGpio: ‘26’,
relayOnState: ‘0’,
powerSaving: false,
}
},

@cowboysdude

No, this is not the problem, I have unlined this, because I can not use the Mirror, when I delete the // I see the black screen.

It’s my fault to show the config.js this the //.

[Blackmirror]

I have it remove and make a new installation, after this it comes errors:

[cowboysdude]

Did you go to the module directory that the pir module is in and run ‘npm install’?

If not try that first.

[Blackmirror]

Hello,
I have delete the ‘,’ but I have still this problem. In the past failure in the config.js make a white screen at me.

And I have run ‘sudo npm install -g’ in the MMM-PIR-Sensor directory,
and I see this Error messages. And I have still a black screen.

[broberg]

I don’t think you are supposed to be using sudo when doing npm install just the other parts,
Using sudo will probably give access issues for the module.

[Blackmirror]

So I Have rm -rf MMM-PIR-Sensor and new install. after this I run npm install -g, is give the follow error messages

And a black screen at the mirror

[Blackmirror]

I Have solve this problem without MMM-PIR-Sensor this a python-skript in rc.local.

But bei DHT22 - Sensor is not working now, destroyed? But why?

[howesfam]

Hi Blacjscreen,

I’m suffering the same problems, do you have alink to your python code?

[Blackmirror]

@howesfam

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time


#Board Mode: Angabe der Pin-Nummer
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)

#GPIO Pin definieren fuer den Dateneingang vom Sensor
PIR_GPIO = 13
Relay_GPIO = 37
GPIO.setup(PIR_GPIO, GPIO.IN)
GPIO.setup(Relay_GPIO, GPIO.OUT)
GPIO.output(Relay_GPIO, True)
GPIO.setup(32,GPIO.IN)

read=0
wait=0
ein=0
button=1

while True :
   #PIR auslesen
   read = GPIO.input(PIR_GPIO)
   button = GPIO.input(32)

   if ((read==1 or button==0) and wait==0):
     GPIO.output(Relay_GPIO, False)
     wait=1
     ein=1
     time.sleep(0.5)
   elif ein==1 and button==0:
     ein=0
     time.sleep(0.5)

Have found in the web and I have modified for me, the Pin 32 is a button to make the monitor, ampilifier and the mirror light always on.

[beck0r]

Having the same problem. Any solution ?

[Blackmirror]

Use the PIR-Senosr not with this modul, but with the python script.
