Hey guys

Besides using some kind of wake module, is it possible to just set MM up be shown during specific times of a day or maybe darken the screen during night time?

Thanks a lot

Hey @Landokirk

I am also new here and just get stuff done so far.
The Raspberry route is definitely the one to recommend - you cant beat the low cost factor.

Unfortunately I cant tell you anything about touch, since I went non touch.
Full screen calender is no problem at all, just remember you start with a basic calender which youd have to format/style, if you also want the Google appearance. In the module calendarEXT3 there is a marquee function, so that longer event titles just scroll through to make em readable completely.

I was thinking about a browser view too, but felt that this was just “not enough”, not special enough. There are also different apps people offer to achieve the same thing like MagicMirror ( but its easier to set up in this case), but usually theyre paid at some point.

If youre only after calender, this could lead to ( if you take default apps out of the config ) almost the complete screen free for it. Based on that, you still have to figure out how big of a screen is needed for your “eyes”. ^^

That solved the problem. Thank you sir
If anyone cares: “CW” is shown even after correct/different local settings because it´s written as element in the stylesheet from calendarEXT3, so you have to change the term there.

Like said above, the colors work now…

The CW counting not, thats why I showed you that part man…

Good morning

So Ive noticed the color is applying, the CW is not solved, probably cause I put the snipped in the wront place?

		{
 			module: "MMM-CalendarExt3",
  			position: "bottom_bar",
  			title: "",
  			config: {
    			mode: "month",
    			instanceId: "basicCalendar",
    			locale: 'de-DE',
    			maxEventLines: 5,
    			firstDayOfWeek: 1,
    			calendarSet: ['Testkalender', '', ''],
			refreshInterval: 900000,
			startDayIndex: 1
    			},

		},	

@sdetweil Yes Sam, I know that theyre not there… I just asked, if theres a possibility to get something done
Ill share the code tomorrow, thank you

Hey again guys

So right now I got the Cal3 running with a Google calendar. Everythings working good for now, except “CW” is only showint “CW1” in every week. The default calendar is counting correctly. Also I wonder why its showing “CW” instead of “KW” relating to german language. Every possible local setting is put right though.
Also color in config is not shown - I set it up like in the description.

Is it possible to somehow put a list additional to the calender? I got some tasks/list points set up in Google but the module obviously is not “asking” for them.

Thanks a lot

I know that its the job of it to keep it running, Ive read that

Hey again guys

So I installed MM via Sams installer and because I didnt understand how to start it from “desktop” mode, I activated autostart.
But now I can only end it via CTRL + Q, ending in it restarts immediately ^^

The normal Pi button does nothing, I can reach the desk through windows style CTRL ALT DEL but every click I make results in MM goes back fullscreen. I could use the “Run” menu, but thats not the same like the command prompt is it?

Sorry for the nooby question, help is appreciated.

Regards from Germany

Guys, thanks for the interesting thoughts.
@sdetweil If you say itll be easier with the phone, Ill surely go that way.

@UncleRoger you maybe wanna share a pic or two of this controller and how it is connected? :)
I guess Ill do as you adviced and get a Pi. Actually I already got one to play some retro games with it.
Usually I buy overpowered hardware, just cause Im one of those victims who can hardly resist ^^

Just a last question: So Ive read a couple of times that people warn to check for the right angle/position/whatever of the hdmi port of the screen - is this more related to the people who plan on put the screen into a housing / behind a frame? I guess with a 90° or even 180° adapter itll be good for me if I am going to attach it to a wall?
Out of curiousity: Any screen suggestions?

Thanks a lot again
