Asus Tinker Board

@Sean what did you put in your mm.sh?
I can’t get the MM to run… I only get errors… :/ I’m on development branch…

got this in the npm-debug.log:

@Snille mine has no problem. In ‘mm.sh’ only npm start is.

[Snille]

Oh, when I tried it with the default “linaro” user it works… :) I used “my own” user at first… Now I’m going to add modules! :)

This post is deleted!

Ah, just figured out how to rotate the screen. When logged in as “linaro”.
Open a terminal and do:

cd ~
nano .xsessionrc

Paste the following in the file and remove the # in front of the row (left or right) you want to rotate the screen. I am using left myself. :)

#!/bin/sh

## To rotate left enable below line.
xrandr --output HDMI-1 --rotate left

## To rotate right enable below line.
#xrandr --output HDMI-1 --rotate right

Reboot to test. :)

All the same modules installed and here is the “nmon” result…
To the left is the “Tinker Board” and to the right is the “Raspberry Pi 3”. :)

And here is the module list:

MMM-Chart
MMM-Globe
MMM-JSONStatusChecker
MMM-Memo
MMM-ModuleScheduler
MMM-Modulebar
MMM-MotionEye
MMM-MyCommute
MMM-ProfileSwitcher
MMM-Profilepicture
MMM-Remote-Control
MMM-Sonos
MMM-SystemStats
MMM-TextClock
MMM-TouchNavigation
MMM-WunderGround
MMM-cryptocurrency
MMM-newsfeedtouch
MMM-plex-recently-added
calendar_monthly
mm-hide-all
mmm-suncalc

@Snille impressive!

@Snille MMM-SystemStat should be modified for CPU temperature. ATB write cpu temp on different location.

[Snille]

@Sean Yes, I noticed. I actually disabled the MMM-SystemStats module for now. It’s complaining too much in the log. :)

Hi again. Tried another OS called Armbian. I like the “looks” better to start with. So if you are going to use you Tinker Board for something else then being a MM. Maybe it’s a nicer alternative then TinkerOS. But for MM, it’s not. The over all CPU usage is even higher then on the RPi3… Tough, it seems to be X that’s hogging most of the CPU… It’s running XFCE instead of LXDE so, maybe that’s the reason…

If you want to play with even more OS:es you can find lot’s here.
