MMM-Globe

[Pimagical]

@dasbooter Your using a highres image source of 14mb maybe there are other limitations for this source, maybe you could try a lower resolution source?

My experience with resize above 800pixels for example 900 pixels the MMM-Globe script picks the highress source but my MagicMirror keeps black, could be to much for the raspberry pi 3 or a bug in the MMM-Globe…

How to make globe a little bit lower than center? Thanks!

[Andrius ok]

Hello @GinSeng maybe you know how to make a little bit lower than ‘middle_center’ ?
Thanks!

bottom_center

Or you could try some css on it I suppose

@Andrius-ok the region under middle_center is called lower_third https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/286/regions

Thanks yes I tried smaller images. Still same problem for me. Looking at the module yes at 800 pixels or above it does call for a different image source. A hi res one . Really good thought tho. Thanks. Oh well pretty soon I’ll give it to my girlfriend for christmas. Then it will be out of site and outta mind. I’ll keep checking back. Or maybe just a clean install one day ```

I have the same problem as Matt about a year ago.
The globe works perfect but after some time I see only some lines.
Some time later it is fine again.

Any help?
Peter

This is Matts picture a year ago:

@Peter I use to have that, and that is when my SD card got full. do a

df -h

and see if the storage is full or not

[iMAGiC]

@Peter I found this issue when I attache this module into MM, due to the link is not very stable, and it stop working sometime. you could try other link (e.g. full), it will work.

[Peter]

@gshimself , there is still 8.5 G left on the 16G card.

@iMAGiC , what do you mean with " full"?
Is there a good link to the side of the earth with Europe?
Peter

[iMAGiC]

@Peter
sorry, I meaning use hi-res url instead of it.
for example:

this.imageUrls = {
			'geoColor': 'http://rammb.cira.colostate.edu/ramsdis/online/images/latest_hi_res/himawari-8/full_disk_ahi_true_color.jpg',

[dasbooter]

@Peter I agree with the post about changing the link. I had the same problem then I changed sources and have had no issue.

[Peter]

@iMAGiC , I used your link: MM starts, I see half of the globe and MM stops, starts again with half of the globe and stops again; like a loop.
Maybe because I use a RPI 2?
Peter

[Peter]

@dasbooter , what link do you use?

@Peter I fixed this problem with improving my wifi signal/range!

Check your wifi signal quality if around 37/70 this will cause problems for sure, it should be at least above 45/70 or higher check your signal with:

sudo iwconfig wlan0

My bad wifi signal caused problems like not loading the globe images and freezing agenda items and not loading the newsfeed items.

Solutions are

1. Change the accespoint location or

2. Buy a WIFI USB adapter to improve the wifi range because the Pi 3 default wifi/bluetooth is very bad: Pi 3 Wifi problems or

3. DIY Modification option External antenna modifications for the Raspberry :Pi 3

Good Luck!

[iMAGiC]

@Peter do you set updateInterval correctly?
btw, I use Pi 3 with LAN.

only thing is loading time is longer, but OK.

[Peter]

Wifi signal is 49/70.
I use the original update interval.
