      I am completely new to this, and am building a magic mirror for my girlfriend for Christmas. I have everything done, and have even put Alexa on my pi, but for whatever reason I am having trouble loading the modules and the only ones that are working are the ones that are turned on by default, the messages, holidays, and news feed at the bottom. How do I turn on the other ones, such as clock? I tried adding it to the array in config.js but nothing showed up, any ideas?

        Post your config file (without personal api-keys etc) complete here so people can check it to start with. (use the code button in the forum for your config file) the “</>” symbol.

            I tried following this and got a config.js error
            I copied my code into Esprima syntax validator and it is giving me an “Unexpected token” error for line 3, which denotes the position specification. Any ideas?

              I wouldn’t know without seeing it, but you’re missing the beginning of your config.js if position: 'top_left', is line 3.

              var config = {
              	address: "localhost", 
              	port: 8080,
              	ipWhitelist: [],
              
              	language: "en",
              	timeFormat: 12,
              	units: "imperial",
              
              	modules: [
              		{
              		    module: 'MMM-voice',
              		    position: 'bottom_bar',
              		    config: {
              			microphone: 2,
              		    }
              		},

                @bmbaugh said in Modules won’t show up on mirror?:

                I tried adding it to the array in config.js but nothing showed up, any ideas?

                Every bracket closed correctly? Commas used correctly? I’d also like to see the config.js.
                You can also start the software with npm start dev to have a look at the console, often it tells you what is wrong.

                  For some reason when I edited the actual config.js in text editor it worked! (as opposed to editing the document within Terminal)

                  Thank you!!

                    nano? In the terminal, you have to use “sudo nano” to get rights to write to the file.

                        Can you edit that and put the tags for code around it?
