Help with config and adding modules

  • M

    after trying to add a face recognition my config is broken

    can someone help me out?

    p.s. i had to use the sample file, as i broke the original config before
    i copied it to overwrite config.js and reapplied my edits

    /* Magic Mirror Config Sample

    var config = {
    port: 8080,

    ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1"], // Set [] to allow all IP addresses.

language: "nl",
timeFormat: 24,
units: "metric",

modules: [
	{
		module: 'MMM-Facial-Recognition',
		config: {
			// 1=LBPH | 2=Fisher | 3=Eigen
			recognitionAlgorithm: 1,
			// Threshold for the confidence of a recognized face before it's considered a
			// positive match.  Confidence values below this threshold will be considered
			// a positive match because the lower the confidence value, or distance, the
			// more confident the algorithm is that the face was correctly detected.
			lbphThreshold: 50,
			fisherThreshold: 250,
			eigenThreshold: 3000,
			// force the use of a usb webcam on raspberry pi (on other platforms this is always true automatically)
			useUSBCam: false,
			// Path to your training xml
			trainingFile: 'modules/MMM-Facial-Recognition/training.xml',
			// recognition intervall in seconds (smaller number = faster but CPU intens!)
			interval: 2,
			// 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: [],
			//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
		}
	}
		module: "alert",
	},
	{

  • Missing a coma right after and just before alert module and the starting bracket for the next module… 🙂

    im sorry… but that did not help

    could you show me the the lines as they should be?

    https://pastebin.com/b6hpEDzc this might be easier to read

  • @mrfloppy88 That’s because I missed the starting bracket to the next module… I corrected it… try that 🙂

    In the future to avoid issues backup your working config.js to config.bak because you know that works then add your module 🙂

    Also put your config.js through this -> http://jshint.com/
    It will tell you where your issue is 🙂

  • @mrfloppy88 No, not at all. I’m sure someone here does. If you take it out and it works again I would leave it out and do some forum searching to see if others had the same issues 🙂
