MMM Facial Recognition - not working

  • X

    Hi to all!
    I am looking for your help.
    I am a newbie and i am setting up my magic mirror
    I use a usbcamera witch i have managed to get it to work to capture my photos for profile and face recognition but when i start the magic mirror it doesn’t turn on ( i have set to “true” the useUSBCAM at config)
    I also get these errors on startup .
    (Launching application.
    ERROR! Could not find main module js file.

    exitCode: 1 }
    MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?)

    Please I would appreciate any help
    thank you in advance

  • @xchribiza sounds like missing file permission

    Is your training file in /modules/MMM-Facial-Recognition/ ? (it is probably in /modules/MMM-Facial-Recognition-Tools/ ), check the path again, and do some change in your config.js

    @detuma I have copied the training.xlm to both locations (tools etc) and checked with the both location in config.js
    nothing happended.
    It seems like the camera is not opening (i use a usbcamera)

    I’m pretty sure you still wrote a wrong path, check this post https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/62/face-recognition-file-can-t-be-opened-for-writing/5
