Help! semester project can't figure out facial recognition
-
@dk7988 said in Help! semester project can’t figure out facial recognition:
No helper found for module: MMM-Facial-Recognition.
This error message happens when the node_helper.js file is not found for a module. The Facial-Recognition module does have one, so it appears to not be installed where the mirror expects it. Is the module checked out in the modules directory under the MagicMirror installation?

Hello, thanks for getting back to me. I’m not sure what your asking :/ I’m unfamiliar with the whole “checked out” part but the location of the node_helper.js file is at /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Facial-Recognition-master/node_helper.js -
Try renaming the module directory “MMM-Facial-Recognition” (without “-master”), I don’t have the code in front of me but I believe the mirror software uses the name of the module from your config as the directory name.

Oohh!! are you thinking cause the folder names is ‘MMM-Facial-Recognition-master’ and in the MagicMirror config.js file it says “module: “MMM-Facial-Recognition”,
config: { … etc” and/or in the MMM-Facial-Recognition/…/config.py file it says “Module.register(“MMM-Facial-Recognition”,
{ defaults: {…etc” and not
‘MMM-Facial-Recognition-master’? I can see how that would make since, I’ll give it a try later tonite when I get home. -
