No, mine is 2.5 amp. I thought yours was 1A due to this on the amazon description:

"This adapter has been specially designed and tested for the raspberry Pi and can deliver a full 1A without the output voltage dropping below the recommended 5V necessary for reliable Raspberry Pi operation. "
This is my power supply right now.
MicroCenter 2.5A Power supply

I’ve tried two of them on different outlets on two different Raspberry Pis. I really don’t know what I’m doing wrong lol.
So I should probably go get the fans then and combine that with the heat sink?
I’ll try that if that’s what everyone recommends!

For some reason it wasn’t letting me link to the micro center site. It said that it was flagging me as spam for that.

Thanks for that! Yeah the only app that I have running on it is my Magic Mirror. And it’s the pi itself that is getting hot.

So the 1amp power supply isn’t too low to run a Pi on? I thought it needed a 2.5 amp?

So I bought a 2.5 amp micro-USB power adapter for Raspberry pi 3 from QVS.
Currently it’s running at between 66-70* C. It’s been on for about 30 minutes. I don’t have a fan on it as well it’s not in a case. Just sitting on my desk in a cool room.
Is this too hot to make a magic mirror with?
It’s very hot to the touch and I’m worried that it will continue to heat up to the point of potentially causing a hazard.
I’m about to build the box to put the monitor in so that I can actually have the mirror. So now is the time to address this issue for me.
Any input would be great. Thanks

So I went back and ran that sudo command.

and nothing happened still…any thoughts/suggestions?

Hey so I’m having trouble auto-starting my magic mirror.
I used this guide:
https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/Auto-Starting-MagicMirror
And followed it line by line.
That being said, I dug through the forums and it seems like people were having trouble doing this in the older versions of MM but I couldn’t find anything current.

This is what I’ve been getting. It looks fine, but the mm.sh file just doesn’t actually execute on startup. I have to manually enter
pm2 start mm.sh
to get the MM to actually start.

Any help with this?

Thanks!

Thank you so much! I’ll try this out!

So I’ve successfully gotten Raspbian installed on my pi. I got the Magic Mirror to successfully auto-open at login. I cannot figure out how to get to and edit the config.js file on my pi, or through ssh’ing via terminal (I’m on a Mac).
I’d like to remove the compliments and newsfeed, (I get really annoyed with NYT) and add a couple modules of my own as well as making the 24-hr clock a 12-hour clock. I feel like once I’m able to view the config.js file everything will fall into place lol.
I don’t know if I need to figure out how to ‘quit’ the MM application or if I should edit it through terminal.
Just need some clarification! Thanks in advance!
