Hello-Lucy

I hope someone has a clue about this problem. Magic Mirror ect has a black background. However when I show it on my monitor it appears a bit gray. I would usually say thats because of the monitor. However when I plug in my windows laptop and show black it’s a lot darker. Whats the reason that my debian has no real black?
-
- Found the problem the raspberry used limited RGBinstead of full RGB now it’s real black ;)
- the video runs without lagg however it’s really at the limit lol
need a cooler otherwise the raspberry keeps overheating

And yes, Mykle is very correct about the voice issue.
The point I was really trying to make is that ubuntu uses the least amount of resources and turns a useless/worthless laptop into an excellent MM board that outperforms any Pi.
-
I would recommend a fan for any Pi running MM. I learned that quickly enough. :-)
-
@Mykle1 since I need some more raspi anyways I might just give it a 3b+ so I have a bit more power (I am at stable 83% cpu usage so the 17% should help a bit) and a already included cooler

When you get it installed on your Atom device, I would definitely like to know your outcome!
I have ubuntu, MM, and Hello Lucy running on a POS EeePC. The thing was ready for the trash. Amazing how well it runs now. Oh yeah, it’s an Atom processor.
-
Yeah, I’m just really stubborn im this old age I getting to… Still bound and determined to get it to run on Windows somehow!!!
I may be 75 or 90 by the time I figure it out, But, I ain’t giving up!!! :smiling_face_with_horns:

@Mykle1 without cooler I am at stable 77-78 degree I would say that sucks lol
@justjim1220 Lol just use windows for the stuff it"s made for (I guess like the name already implies it"s for throwing it out of the window) :smiling_face_with_horns:
-
Well, I wish you luck. I tried (half-heartedly) to get MM-voice and Hello Lucy to run under Windows. Once I got comfortable with ubuntu I realized the benefits where MM is concerned

With a simple fan my Pi mirror runs at a constant 43C
-
@Mykle1 In general the only reason I still use Windows is because Autodesk still does not have linux versions for the CAD software lol
-
@Mykle1 just took a cooler from a old PCB I had laying around and some thermal compound. saved me 25 degree
-
-
I’m not suggesting that you abandon Windows. I still have my Windows machine, too. I mean where MM is concerned. Do you need to have Autodesk and the CAD software running with MM?
-
-
@mykle1 ah no I mean in general. I wanted to drop windows already for months ;) But since I need the CAD software I can’t lol maybe I will go over to linux and put windows into a VM just for CAD Software
-
Well today I got a pi b+ into my hands and tested it right away. Well sadly there is no improvement at all. The video still runs smooth which I expected, however there is still 83% cpu load while playing it. Will give it a cooler and do not show it a lot of the time anyways so I guess I should be fine anyways
-
Were you expecting the Pi to perform like a desktop or laptop board? That’s just crazy. ;-)
-
@Mykle1 well your desktop has a gpu but a not a better cpu and ram is not used ;)
And yes expected a slightly better performance given the 17% more cpu speed. However I will just stop playing video files in electron which kills my cpu (83%).
So I tried I different way to show the video. I used magic mirror like I would normalways but the video I did not show in electron, but opened omxplayer to blend the video in.
I tested using top. It shows cpu usage for all cores so don’t wonder about numbers over 100%With the video on electron using a magic mirror module my cpu usage was at stable 250-260%. Using the omxplayer to show the video and showing the rest like I did the first time the CPU usage was different each time. It was always either in the 20% area or in the 150%. So it is a enormous improvement to the first option and makes it definetly possible to play it on a raspberry pi 3b ;)

Uhh, you lost me.

That is excellent news for those employing Hello-Lucy without the animated gif. Well done!
