By any chance you can ship to singapore?

ill be damned. managed to get it to work using this after some searching

Edit the “config.txt” in the “/boot” directory.

Go to:

“# Enable DRM VC4 V3D driver
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d
max_framebuffers=2”

And change “dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d” to “dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d”.

There is a bug in the “vc4-kms-v3d” driver.

After changing in the “config.txt” “vcgencmd display_power 0” returns a “display_power=0”.

which one should i use and can you advise me on the code please?

Hi all

Can I know what are the solution to schedule on off monitor for the magic mirror?
I’m trying mmm remote control but it’s either I’m doing it wrongly or it doesn’t seems like it’s working.

Appreciate any help please

@MMRIZE if I change to rpi 4 or 5 will that helps?
I put in the calendar and google photo (yes managed to resolve installation issue) and it’s laggy like mad.

By any chance you have solution for point 1)?

will a pi4 or pi5 fix the slowness issue?

@MMRIZE thanks for the explanation. I will give this a shot. But does this mean if the text is too long it won’t move anymore? I kinda like the animation tho. Is this then a hardware limitation and I need to get something better?

@MMRIZE sorry I’m not very good at this… could you provide more context on where and how should I do this and why?

Hi all

just built a rpi3b+ on a monitor and am facing some issue here. appreciate some assistance.

1. how do i schedule monitor on off based on time? i tried tvservice and vcgencmd as cron job but both doesnt work. i installed remote control and module scheduler with the code below but the problem is i cant seem to simulate them instantly now. like for the code below, i saw in the log it says event notification will happen for the next day…?

 {
      module: 'MMM-Remote-Control'
      // uncomment the following line to show the URL of the remote control on the mirror
      // , position: 'bottom_left'
      // you can hide this module afterwards from the remote control itself
    },

   {
        module: 'MMM-ModuleScheduler',
        config: {
            notification_schedule: [
                // TURN THE MONITOR/SCREEN ON At 10:00
                {notification: 'REMOTE_ACTION', schedule: '00 10 * * *', payload: {action: "MONITORON"}},
                // TURN THE MONITOR/SCREEN OFF At 00:00 
                {notification: 'REMOTE_ACTION', schedule: '00 00 * * *', payload: {action: "MONITOROFF"}}
            ]
        }
   }

2. i have mmm calendar ext3 installed. the mirror seems to be lagging quite badly. the text that is hovering from right to left in the calendar is not smooth but rather stuttering. not sure why?

3. cant install mmm googlephoto. my installation keep getting stuck at timing reifyNode:node_modules/moment Completed in 14044ms.

appreciate any advise please!

just to give an update to my earlier post.
i manage to get the browser to show mm on my phone but not my ipad. could this be an issue of old safari browser or something along those line?

i set mirror config ip to pc ip address, ipwhitelist []…
pc webbrowser via ip address and electron works. but using ipad via ipaddress of pc, it shows black screen. terminal show fetching module. so it seems like its working but black screen…?

@sdetweil but if I weee to rotate my screen, my entire screen will be vertical, including my terminal which is not what I want. My main computer screen is where I work on the git cmd and I open up another browser in the same screen monitor. Is there any way to just rotate the browser showing the mm?

hi im currently testing out MM using GIT CMD and opening my view in web browser local host. are there any way to rotate the view to vertical? all various article and guide seems to point towards a rpi rotation and not a windows version.

help appreciated. thanks.

Sorry guys it’s getting too technical for my limited understanding.

I don’t have a pi yet. I’m on a pc with the git cmd, how do I “cast” to the tv/monitor?

When I subsequently get a pi, how do I uh ssh from pc to pi?

Is there like a 101 guide to both above?

@sdetweil thanks so much bruh. Couple of more questions if you don’t mind…

1. so I can use my tv, go into the browser and enter local host:8080 and I’m in? Assuming they are on the same network. Otherwise what would the web link be? I don’t suppose being on a different network works?

2. in future when I setup the pi, I’ll have to install everything on the sd card and put into the pi. And the pi is behind the wall display… so assuming 1 fine day I would like to make changes, how do I go about doing it since I can’t use the terminal on my pc to make the changes?
   Do I have to take the pi out from the wall display, connect the pi to another monitor and do my edits in the other monitor? Or does the pi on the wall display allow me to do edits? How do people go about doing this, I just can’t wrap my head around this…

@sdetweil so i used your fix with the link that you provided and i can go into MM.

there is something i dont get though… The MM app itself is ‘electron’?

and my git cmd is ‘terminal’?

when i want to install module etc, i have to close the terminal and reopen and npm start again? is there a way to work continuously on the terminal without closing and opening?

right now im working on windows and subsequently i will shift to raspberry PI. how do i transit everything over to the PI? or do i have to resetup everything?

and if im working on the windows, can i ‘cast’ the MM to anywhere else other than a web browser?

@sdetweil but when i go to localhost 8080 via web browser it appears to show the screen. is that normal?

@sdetweil

hi i need some help here. when i ran npm start, im getting this message.
