      I apologize if this a very noob question but I am having trouble getting the motion detector module running. I have clone the files to the module folder. I have modified the config file but maybe I dont have it correct. Could some one show me how the config file be modified to get the module running. Any other pointers? Thank you,

          @phoenixrising look at the last reply of in_a_days.
          If that is not working post your config.js here.

              @oscarkindberg it is the file config.txt in the folder /boot/
              type ‘sudo nano /boot/config.txt’ without ’
              add as last line:
              hdmi_blanking=1

                @danielis Actually got it to work now, changed to “updateInterval: 10000” from “updateInterval: 1000” and in diff-cam-engine.js I changed captureIntervalTime to 1000 instead of 100.

                Made it easier on the RBP3 i think.
                Downloaded MMM-SystemStats to keep check on sysload during config and it’s lookin’ good now.
                Thanks for the help! I’ll comeback with a picture of the mirror as soon as my mirrorglas arrives.

                      @alexyak I’m using raspberry pi 3 with the camera module. And the motiondetection module.

                      Could not initiate the module before I ran sudo modprobe bcm2835-v4l2 but even after I never get any motion “score”.

                      I inspected the diffImageData it all contained 0,0,0,255 in series…

                      The camera works when using raspistill. Any hints of what I can test to debug the camera output within electro?
