Black screen after installation on Pi 2 model B V1.1

@PaulB A completely black screen usually means there is an error in the config.js file. Please post yours, (specifically the openweathermaps module entry) using the markdown features and we’ll take a look at it.

At a guess, it looks like you put the header for your module in the module name specification. The module: [name] lines must match the name of the module. These names also correspond with folders in the ~/MagicMirror/modules path. The modules that are installed with the MagicMirror code (which I believe you are trying to use) will be in ~/MagicMirror/modules/default/[module name]

So try this instead:

{
		module: 'currentweather',
		position: 'top_right',
		config: {
			location: 'Bayreuth, Germany',
			locationID: '5128581', 
			appid: '158010f0c45e255e6439eb1885b3482b'
		}
	},
	{
		module: 'weatherforecast',
		position: 'top_right',
		header: 'Wettervorhersage',
		config: {
                     location: 'Bayreuth, Germany',
		     locationID: '5128581',  
                     appid: '158010f0c45e255e6439eb1885b3482b'
		}
	},

@bhepler You are a Genius! Thanks a lot. :-)

Changing the module names was not my best idea, I guess :D

Nevertheless the index.html-file shows me just a black screen.

@PaulB the html file itself will show only a black screen, the modules get loaded dinamically so there is no point in open the html file in a browser, if you want to open the mirror onto another computer and type in the ip followed by the port specified in the config.js

@strawberry-3-141 Ah!Now I get it. Thank you very much for your help. :-)
