@moe2016 How exactly would you do that?
-
@cowboysdude I looked into it briefly. I had a prototype going using
plantary.js, but it was a complete processor hog. I was afraid to even try it on a Pi.IIRC, there were three of us looking into it, two of us had prototypes. And then @Eunanibus comes along and solves it for us all. Well done.
-
@ecirpnaes Never mind. I found it. I was looking for a file and then realized it was the command line config. DOH. If anyone else needs to enable the OpenGL driver just…
sudo raspi-config
Go to Advanced Options->GL Driver -
@bhepler Haha. I had no idea :laughing: - Truth be told, I had this code working OK around 11 months ago. But I wanted it tidied up and packaged up nicely before I released it. Being busy, that somehow took almost a year to do.
-
This is not working for me on a raspberry pi 3. I have the GL driver installed and working but I get these errors in the console when running the magic mirror.
THREE.WebGLRenderer: Float textures not supported.
THREE.WebGLRenderer: Anisotropic texture filering not supported.
THREE.WebGLRenderer: S3TC compressed textures not supported.It doesn’t crash but it doesn’t display the globe either.

@Eunanibus Welcome to the club LOL At times there’s just no way to know how something is going to react …everyone seems to have different setups… at times this causes issues :)
-
So does that mean some people have this running on their Pi 3? If so I’ll try a fresh build and install this first.
-
@BlackTalon I don’t think so, no. I’m running this on either my development PC, my work desktop or a microPC. Win10 or Ubuntu 16, respectively.
It looks like the electron browser thingy doesn’t support some of the commands used by the module. Possibly. We may need a workaround. Still investigating.
-
Ok I managed to get this running on a Pi 3. I did sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade after installing the driver from raspi-config. Its flickering pretty bad but its running it. I need to pair down some processes on here to see if I can get it to run cleaner.
-
Its hammering the processor on the Pi 3 pretty bad The chip is getting hot. I am going to add a heat sink and a fan to it before I do more. Thanks for your help.
