Hey folks,
this is the first MagicMirror I built. In my opinion it´s quite well done, isn’t it? All of my friends was very amazed about this dressy mirror.
Unfortunately you can’t read the text as well, because the day I took the photo, was very bright inside the living room.
(It was temporarily mounted on a wooden plate)
I did exactly what you had written, but the weatherchart didnt work.
I had to install “del” separately after --> “cloning your repo and use npm install”
Hey guys thank you all for your help! The sdetweil fork is working very well if “del” is installed too.
:handshake: :thumbs_up: great community
Today it was very weird, I started my MM² to reinstall the module as @Bugsounet said, and the weatherchart was visible (the first time on my MM²)! After that I decided to change the region of the weatherchart, unfortunately the weatherchart is now gone again. No region is working reliable.
@Bugsounet ok thank you for the explanation. I tried it with and without sudo, but it doesn’t matter. I have left the last clone of the module without the sudo command.
Yes I do! But unfortunately I’m not very familiar with linux. I’ll give it a try. Thank you
EDIT: npm install del doesn’t work for both modules.
EDIT2: after the installation of “del”, the MM² come up again. But there is still no weatherchart.
EDIT3: cd ~/MagicMIrror && npm start dev
console issued the following text --> { [Error: EACCES: permission denied, open ‘/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/mmm-weatherchart/cache/map-1581788960498.png’]
errno: -13,
code: ‘EACCES’,
syscall: ‘open’,
path: ‘/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/mmm-weatherchart/cache/map-1581788960498.png’ }
I tried ‘sudo chmod -R 777 .’ inside the mmm-weatherchart module directory. But this also dosn’t help.
Hey folks,
I have updated my whole MM-SD-Card to a new “Raspbian Buster with desktop and recommended software” and also up to MM². I got everything to work except the weatherchart of paphko (https://github.com/paphko/mmm-weatherchart). If I put the module inside config.js the MM will not come up again. the monitor stays completely black (irrelevant to mention that I tried also the default module “code” :expressionless_face: ). By the way, its possible to kill the pm2 prcoess with CTRL+Q.
Then I tried the fork of that weatherchart-module from szech (https://github.com/szech/mmm-weatherchart). So I decided to rename the paphko-weatherchart-module-folder and to install the szech one at the correct location (/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/mmm-weatherchart/). First I tried the default module-code and (a little success :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes: ) the MM² came up again!
But without any weatherchart :sleepy_face: . So I decided to alter the module-config to my own settings, but nothing changed. Then I have tried some different locations for the weatherchart module, but nothing worked. The MM² shows all modules but not the desired weatherchart.
However, one thing was noticed, as I set the same location as the newsfeed module (region = bottom_bar) the newsfeed appeared two inches higher than before :hushed_face: . So I guess something took that space below the newsfeed. I suspect that is the szech mmm-weatherchart, but a kind of invisible.
Thx in advance, I appreciate your help. :smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:
@mross22 Do you sell only this size (12"*24") ?
Are the edges polished ?
IMHO a visible transmittance of 11% is a little bit too less.
I got my mirror from myspiegel.de with a transmittance of 20%, so for all customers in Europe myspiegel.de will be the right choice if the weight doesn’t matter. Because these mirrors have a thickness of 8mm.
I bought there a mirror for 75€ at a size of 650x430mm.
@Atheose Oh sorry, I missed some posts too xD
I made the hole with a special driller for wood (I don’t know the english word, in german it’s called “Forstnerbohrer”)
These days I´m trying to solve the “HDMI-signal lost” problem of my monitor.
Each time, the RasPi disables his HDMI output after 60 seconds of no motion detection, the monitor shows up a big blue screen with “HDMI Signal lost” on it. Maybe it’s not a bug, it’s a feature of the monitor. Nethertheless it’s still a big bug of my MagicMirror.
What I’m looking for is a workaround to dim the brightness of the monitor or rather of the HDMI output.
