Pi Zero

Hmmm … it seems the Zero is running on ARMv6. Just like the the Pi 1. Unfortunately, Electron (the browser frame on which MagicMirror relies) does not support ARMv6. You can install MagicMirror² and just use the serveronly method, but you would need to setup a browser in kiosk mode yourself. Which is tricky on the ARMv6 platform.

Hi,
I modify the installation file for Pi0. But the program don’t start. My Post “npm-do-not-start”
and the file.
0_1469782479446_MagicMirrorInstallPi0.shI don’t find the solution for the moment.

Ok thanks

Now is ok for the Pi0. But just for install Kweb.
i use this commands:wget http://steinerdatenbank.de/software/kweb-1.7.3.tar.gz tar -xzf kweb-1.7.3.tar.gz cd kweb-1.7.3 ./debinstall

I’ve just tried out running MM2 on a Pi0. It all seems to load up using the server only but when I fire up kweb I just end up with a blank screen. This was a new install so I used the basic config file and added my own data (e.g. weather app key, etc.). I’m new to using MM2 as well so I was not sure if I should be seeing lines like:
No helper found for module: nnnn
As far as I can tell the calendar and newsfeed have started, but nothing is displayed :(
Any recommendations on the diagnostic steps I need to take?

Hopefully the community can help you out here as the Pi0 is not supported. Some people may have gotten it to work though …

@evos I’ve only just seen this. Awesome work! I’ll check it out!
This means I can free up my Pi3 for something else

Hi All,
MM2 works on Pi0. If you want install MM2 on Pi0 use the @evos process or use my install file.
MagicMirrorInstallPi0.sh -
@Neokamikaze thanks, I’d manually got to the same sort of place the script would have got me to… It would have got me there faster ;) Further testing has shown it was my set up of kweb that was at fault not MM2 (the page loaded correctly with firefox). I was testing the page in regular browser mode before using kiosk mode so I can perfect my own config.sh. It turned out I had jScript and cookies off, with these enabled fixed the issue I was seeing.
Thanks for all your great work on getting MM2 working on the Pi0!

@KirAsh4 it may be worth getting the support statement updated to the same level as using the Pi1, the Pi0 will run MM2 quite happily using ‘node serveronly’… in my case it turn out you just need to be sure kweb is set up correctly if that is the browser of choice ;)
