Does anyone else use this module/anyone having trouble with it?

I got my API keys and set up the config file. When I launch MM, not only does the PlaceInfo module not load (when set to either top_center or bottom_center), but none of my modules will load besides top_left, top_center, and middle_center regions. I’m getting no errors in the terminal. Here is my config.js entry:

{
module: 'MMM-PlaceInfo',
position: 'top-center',
config: {
weatherAPIKey: "myopenweatherAPIkey",
currencyAPIKey: "myfixer.ioAPIkey",
currencyPrecision: 2,
currencyRelativeTo: 'USD',
places: [
{
title: "London",
flag: "gb",
currency: "GBP",
timezone: "Europe/London",
weatherID: "2643743",
},
{
title: "Tokyo",
flag: "jp",
currency: "JPY",
timezone: "Asia/Tokyo",
weatherID: "1857910",
}
]
}
},

I am also not getting the wifi icon to appear by itself. Hoping for an update/fix as I really love the idea of a wifi status icon on my MM.

Re: MMM-WeatherBackground

Is there a way to change the background image transparency? I just installed and love this module idea, but would like it to be a more subtle sort of background indication of weather conditions. The current view makes it very hard to make out my modules’ text, even with the recommended changes to my css file (in the readme).

@sdetweil hmm ok thanks, I will check it out!

I posted this in Modules/Development, but I will post here also in case I was in the wrong place:

I want to learn to write my own modules and I’m wondering where to start. Should I be looking to learn about writing node.js for this?

My work has a Udemy business account, so I can check out basically any course I want for free. There are a few courses I saw there about node.js and I’m wondering if that’s the right direction to take. Any insight would be a huge help. Thanks!

Has anyone here added a camera to their Smart Mirror? I’ve seen camera MM modules and I’m wondering whether I should get a Raspberry Pi camera or if a USB Webcam will be ok since I could maybe use that as my microphone also for voice commands. Any insight/advice would be a great help. Thanks!

@broberg that’s helpful, thank you. Though now I wonder what the time period is that SystemStats is referencing. I guess I’ll have to pay more attention to how frequently the load fluctuates, which I guess would suggest a shorter time period.

For those who use this module, what does the number in ‘System Load’ actually mean/represent? and what is considered a high number? Thanks!

(sorry for the image quality!)
