Hi @cowboysdude,

i have an issue with the MMM-Voice-Module. I had install all with the dependencies.sh. The Installscript says i must use mic 1 in the config.js. But it doesn’t work. The Module in the Mirror says: Initialize… and then ERROR. What can i do to resolve the Problem?

Regards, Daniel

ERROR

Run the mirror in dev mode

npm start dev

Then see what errors you’re getting :)

@cowboysdude oh that’s really really awesome!
so what i have done is git Pir-Sensor & wiringPi into root? =>

edit with nano pir.py =>

chmod all 3 files at pi@raspberrypi:~ $

and crontab also at pi@raspberrypi:~ $

the jumper on PIR sensor in on H and the knobs are both set at minimum level

[cowboysdude]

First make sure your wiring is correct… use the pin in the pir.py…

Then…

I put the pir.py and both sh files in the pi root directly

pi/pir.py
pi/monitor_off.sh
pi/monitor_on.sh

sudo chmod +x pir.py

sudo chmod +x monitor_off.sh

sudo chmod +x monitor_on.sh

Then…

sudo crontab -e

On the last line enter:

@reboot python /home/pi/pir.py &

Hit CRTL-O to save then exit

Reboot your pi

@cowboysdude that’s exactly what i did all 3 files are located in Pi home directory as well as wiringPi.
sudo chmod there too & crontab too…
but not working… there should be something else.
i try to run your .sh file so the outcome is that monitor_off file works well but the monitor_on file displays the following message:

would you mind to share with me YOUR following files plssssss =>

thx you!

[cowboysdude]

@bibi go here:

https://github.com/cowboysdude/Pir-Sensor

download the monitor_on.sh and try running it again.

@cowboysdude Apperently i could get ride off this xset message now the monitor is turning on but the screen stays black… screensaver issue maybe.

Yes that’s why I gave you the new one to try… I believe you’re having a screen saver issue.

The way I handled mine was to install xscreensaver and disable it :)

[bibi]

@cowboysdude aha ok I will check install xscreensaver this evening. Any specific options or settings that I should apply?

Yes “Disable” :)

@bibi This thread may help you.

@cowboysdude @bhepler Thx for spending time to help me. i understand if you can’t help anymore.
but here my update : i installed Xscreensaver and disabled it but it’s working. the monitor switches off with /opt/vc/bin/tvservice -o properly but with
/opt/vc/bin/tvservice -p the screen stays black (backlight)
just for info im doing all this via SSH… maybe something to do with X forwarding and this message : xset: unable to open display “”…

Edit: i have found a command that allows to bring back the screen ! sudo chvt 9 && sudo chvt 7. :)))
i have to check out how to implement this in an elegant way

[cowboysdude]

@bibi said in Cowboysdude's Mirror:

sudo chvt 9 && sudo chvt 7

Open up the monitor_on.sh and delete everything add:

sudo chvt 9 && sudo chvt 7

Save it and that should work for you :)

yep that’s exactly what i wanted to later today :))
nevertheless, I found on the forum another way to avoid using sudo… i assume it’s better practice but i am not able to confirm this.

@cowboysdude Cool! my modified .sh files are working well in interactive mode :) but… there is always a but lol, when .py file is run it switches well the screen off after the amount of time set and wakes up when hand is waved BUT suddently and without detection the screen wakes up again! this is really irrating… so close to my goal :(
i believe it’s the physical settings on the sensor itself making this behavior… would you mind to send me a pic or tell me how your sensor is set? => jumper and the knobs? thx mate for this (i hope) final demand! :)))
