      hi everyone…so I managed to install the QRCode onto my MM…but, I would like it to be my home wifi code thats shown. I have no idea how to change the “example” code to be my wifi code.
      Stupid new at this too…another post is me having an error with MMM-voice.
      any beginners language advice would be so greatly appreciated! THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

        What are you using to display the QRCode? A module displaying an image file?

            I even wanted to ask for a dummies version of how to install Hello Lucy:)

            If you read the Hello-Lucy readme very carefully the directions are quite specific. I thought I made it as easy as possible to follow. Give it some time and you should be able to get through it successfully.

            Ok, so the module you installed is called QRCode? I’m not familiar with it but I’ll take a look at it

              @Mykle1 thank you so much…I will read the documentation again, did feel I over thought the MMM-voice, but have an error on that at the moment. But still did over think it…Would seriously appreciate any help you my be able to assist with. I am from South Africa…and its bed time 🙂 so hopefully will chat tomorrow - have an amazing evening!

                If, as you say, you have already installed the MMM-QRCode module then you would simply have to make your config.js entry as follows.

                {
                    module: 'MMM-QRCode',
                    position: "bottom_left",            // place where you want it
                    config: {
                        text: "Scan to join my network", // Any text you want
                	colorDark  : "#fff",
                	colorLight : "#000",
                        imageSize  : 150,                // the size of the QRCode displayed.
                        showRaw    : false,              // will hide and show your text
                	}
                },
                

                From what I can tell, the module itself creates the code for you.

                  I have a related question. I’d like to use MMM-QRCode to access my MMM-Remote Control. All I would need is for the QRCode to pull my current mirror’s IP address, add “:8080” to the end of the url and generate the code. However, I don’t see how to do that in the documentation. Can someone point me in the right direction?

                    @cheapdad he didn’t document the most important parameter

                    text: url to link to

                    text:“http://pi_address:mm_port/…”

                      @sdetweil This works if you know your IP address. My daughter will take this to college with her, so I’m not sure she will know the IP address the dorm assigns her. I also don’t know if DHCP will change over the course of the semester.

                      Or am I misunderstanding your suggestion?

                        @cheapdad no… the module is not smart, it just uses the text string provided…
                        doesn’t know what the string means
