        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?
