My Family Info Board
-
Hello Everyone, Thanks for having such a wonderful forum loaded with tons of help and ideas. I got my RPi 3 B + last Sunday and have been playing around with it to come up with a family info board. I borrowed inspiration from many of your magicmirrors and have been able to work my way around some problems. I still haven’t decided on my final layout but am pretty happy with how it has turned out so far. I would really love to have a full google calendar displayed as a module, but haven’t found a way to do it yet.
On another note, my RPi 3 B+ has been locking up and overheating. I have been following a thread on another board and they are some issues with some RPi 3 B +s. Hope that gets resolved soon.
Thanks for having me and look forward to more tinkering.

Perhaps it is locking up because of overheating. This might also be a symptom of high CPU usage. There is a thread here that discusses, in depth, the CPU usage problem. You may also want to consider a fan which dramatically lowers the cpu temperature.

That looks fantastic! Would you be able to share your module list and your custom css?

Woh, imagine if you could have a floating rotating stormtrooper helmet as a module…any creators here who could make that???

Done!
Here’s a picture but you can’t see it rotating. Below the picture is a video link.
Video link,
This is done with my MMM-EasyPix module. You can use any animated.gif or mp4 files.

@mykle1 Oh man that is EPIC! Did you just make this module in the hour since I posted that?!!! And can I put in any picture or symbol to rotate? I was thinking just the outline of a helmet, or like the outline of a superhero symbol rotating would look even cleaner on a mirror. I am so excited right now lol

No, I wrote MMM-EasyPix quite a while ago. All I did was a google search for your “rotating stormtrooper helmet” and found a gif file of it. My module is just displaying the gif file. So, you can find any gif file that you like and use it in this module. This module does not make static pictures rotate

Haha. You’ve got the wrong guy, but thanks friend.

@mykle1 hahah ya that would be like AI level if you could just throw any static picture at it and it was able to generate a 3D like image.
