Hello-Lucy

snikolaidis

Hey @Mykle1 first off great module, but I’m having a little difficulty, A ) I have no video at all now, B ) the mic works but constantly shows error, and C ) so far MMM-BMW-CC hides and shows but stays a loading climacell data. Any advice/pointers??

Mykle1

@snikolaidis

I’m confused a bit

You have no video at all? I’m not sure what that means.
I’ve never seen Lucy work when the microphone reports ‘error’.
BMW-CC sounds like a different issue.

Start MM using npm start dev and report any errors in red after choosing the ‘Console’ tab in the window that opens.

Also, paste your config entry for BMW-CC (in a code block) here so I can look at it.

@Mykle1
1 there is no HDMI output of anything not raspbian, not the magic mirror, nothing, it used to default to the magic mirror dashboard monitor receives signal but is black

Now even though I’ve changed nothing, my magic mirror wont show any modules just loads a black page

    useHeader: false, // true if you want a header
    header: "Your header",
    maxWidth: "100%",
    updateInterval: 5 * 60 * 1000,
}

},


no errors with npm start dev at all

@Mykle1 Maybe I fried my 3b+ when I also added this RPI HiFi AMP HAT TAS5713 Amplifier Audio Module 25W Class-D?

snikolaidis

@Mykle1 Yup sorry to bother you, but I defintely fried it, i put the sd card in my pi4b and got video, my other problems must be from that

Mykle1

@snikolaidis

So everything is ok now?

snikolaidis

@Mykle1 gonna do a fresh install and copy my config onto the 4b because something messed up happened to all that hardware

It booted but right to a completely blank black dashboard

Mykle1

@snikolaidis

ok, good luck

snikolaidis

@Mykle1 turns out I just messed up the screen location like an idiot which fixed the blank dashboard and the mic error went away as well as the BMW_CC not loading. but I still get no hdmi output on this 3b+ I wonder what the heck that could be could I have burned that out if everything else on the pi is running fine?

snikolaidis

@Mykle1 I FIXED IT!!! Sorry lol But it goes to 720x480
if i change it to 1920x1080 like i had it no video output on the hdmi any more

snikolaidis

@Mykle1 got 1080P back by setting
hdmi_group=1
hdmi_mode=16
hdmi_boost > 6
hdmi_ignore_edid = 0xa5000080
hdmi_edid_file = 1

in /boot/config.txt

but now i get green flecks everywhere

Mykle1

@snikolaidis

Stop breaking shit. :-)

snikolaidis

:face_with_tears_of_joy: but thats what i do for a living, I build it or someone else does, then i break it and i fix it, lol

on another note, i guess i said too many unkown commands or somethings and a list of all the commands possible popped up and wont go away, any thoughts other than rebooting :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Mykle1

@snikolaidis

In the terminal?

Type clear and enter
or
Close the terminal and open a new one

snikolaidis

@Mykle1 Sorry to be bothering you again, decided to switch to my pi4b to see how it performs, and now the usb camera I had working on the pi3b+ will not work now, arecord -l lists it as card 2 device 0 and it still says error. Im at a lost npm start dev shows no errors and if I take the same config over to the 3b+ with the proper mapping it works fine

pi@MagicMirror:~ $ arecord test.wav

sdetweil

@snikolaidis on you pi3 you have a file ~/.asoundrc
did u build one on pi4 ? with the right info?

snikolaidis

@sdetweil said in Hello-Lucy:

~/.asoundrc

Pi3 file doesnt exist - mic shows error but works
pi4 file exists - mic shows error still doesn’t work

snikolaidis

@sdetweil also weirdly enough

@snikolaidis before we get to MM with lucy, arecord must work

arecord: set_params:1339: Sample format non available

yes, it didn’t record cause it can’t do the default

arecord --format=S16-LE test.wav
