<![CDATA[MMM-PIR-Sensor Black screen..]]>Hey guys could someone help me what am i doing wrong…?
i keep getting this error:

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues
Launching application.

This is my config.js file:

    {
                          module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
                          config: {
                            sensorPIN: 22,
                            powerSaving: true,
                        relayOnState: 1
                  }
                },

This time, some dependencies seem to be built in with electron, and the error disappeared.

How do i need to:

chmod all files: From a terminal window in your root directory:

sudo chmod +x pir.py

sudo chmod +x monitor_off.sh

sudo chmod +x monitor_on.sh

Editing pir.py

could u explain, i`m master noob with raspberry :P

As you have already seen I was able to solve it nealry like cowboysdude did

What I advise is to forget about this module and use https://github.com/cowboysdude/Pir-Sensor instead.
I made some slight changes to this myself, because it was still not turning on the monitor correctly.

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y libraspberrypi-bin and replace the scripts from the above link as follows: monitor_on.sh contains only vcgencmd display_power 1 and monitor_off.sh only the line vcgencmd display_power 0. This solved my problem for every display I used so far, being HDMI, VGA and DVI displays.

As soon as I implement the config for the sensor the screen stays black (via VNC) and the MM is not reachable via browser.

By the way, I have connected my GPIO-data-cable to PIN wiringPi 7. The description says that BCM numbering should be used, so I used 4 instead of 7 in the config. Is that correct?
