@sdetweil right, feeling pretty stupid at the moment. I’ve added the code with global setting but it doesn’t appear to have changed anything. No errors are coming up. Do I need to add or change any code of the existing modules in my config? I was a bit confused as most modules need an npm install but this one doesn’t appear to need that according to the readme. Sorry to be a continuous pain. Your help is greatly appreciated.

@sdetweil right you are!! “Your configuration file doesn’t contain syntax errors :)” is now what I’m seeing. Thank you for all your help.

@sdetweil Thanks for the npm run config:check That has helped me to clean up my config.js to not have any errors. After fixing all the issues (mainly with the use of ( ’ ) as opposed to ( " ), which is confusing when most of the code already written uses the single quote instead of the double?) I then went to add the Carousel to the top of my code as below:

With the code implemented at the top, I ran npm run config:check and it now comes back that it doesn’t like the { before "module: "alert", referring to it as an Unexpected token. When I’ve taken that out, it says the Unexpected token is now module. I’m thinking I’m missing something that should be there as opposed to something that shouldn’t but I’m not sure what the token it’s expecting is?

@sdetweil thanks, that worked. Looks like I’ve got some clean up to do in my initial code before moving on. I’ll clean this up tonight and implement the new module tomorrow. Thanks again for your help.

aecandroid

@sdetweil Thanks for your help. Unfortunately that doesn’t seem to be working for me. I can’t post what it’s telling me as the reply keeps getting flagged for spam? Essentially it’s telling me the proper usage of npm and asking if I meant npm config. Maybe I’m doing something wrong? I’m doing cd MagicMirror then npm config:check. Sorry, it would be much easier if I could copy / paste but for whatever reason, it won’t let me.

Hello. I’ve been trying to program one of my MM projects with a small screen. After a long process, and lots of help on this forum, I’ve finally got my project working with the LCD I’m using. I’ve been researching about the MMM-Carousel module and I am a bit confused with the configuration. I’ve had a look around and don’t seem to have an answer for my question. I apologise in advance if I’m being really thick or missed the answer.

Having a look at the config for the Global setting, it’s my understanding that my config.js file should look something like this:

var config = {
    modules: [
        {
            module: 'MMM-Carousel',
            config: {
                transitionInterval: 10000,
                ignoreModules: ['clock'],
                mode: 'global'
            }
        }
    ]
}

I guess I’m having trouble getting the code to work with the configuration of the other modules I’m using, still being in my config.js. When I try to add the above to my existing config.js I get an error and it tells my my config is wrong. I have tried adding just this to my config just under var config = { and still got an error:

 {
            module: 'MMM-Carousel',
            config: {
                transitionInterval: 10000,
                ignoreModules: ['clock'],
                mode: 'global'
            }
        }

Can someone please help me with this? Below is my working config.js with the API Keys redacted. How do I integrate these with the MMM-Carousel config? I essentially want each module to show full screen for a certain duration before flipping to the next, making them much more readable on my 4 inch display. Any help is greatly appreciated.

@sdetweil I did as you suggested and installed the waveshare drivers after loading the desktop the first time, plus a little raspi-config action.

Thanks again for your help, much appreciated.

aecandroid

@sdetweil SOLVED!!!

Thank you everyone for your support. It seems that in the end, it was down to using Raspbian Lite. After downloading the full build and following the instructions on your github, were all sorted. Well… almost, I’ve got some sizing to play around with and still need to load my custom .css and .js but that shouldn’t be an issue at all. Thanks again for all your help, especially @sdetweil

aecandroid

@sdetweil Right, so before I get ahead of myself and balls it up again. I have just installed Raspbian Buster Full 2020-02-13 image and going through the initial setup on my Pi Zero W. Should I do the Waveshare drivers for the 4 inch LCD first and then do the MM scripts on your github? Or should I run your scripts first, configure my MM, then do the Waveshare driver?

aecandroid

@sdetweil in the immortal words of Homer J. Simpson - Doh! I’ll have to give this a try later this evening. Is there any reason the GUI version will work and the lite won’t with the small LCD?

aecandroid

@sdetweil Thanks for the help. I tried to start over from fresh. I’ve installed buster lite and completed a fresh install of MM and followed the bash -c "$(curl -sL… commands listed. I still am not having any luck getting MagicMirror working on the 4 inch display. Everything is fine right up until I do the Waveshare driver install and then do ./LCD4-show. Once I do that, I can see the device reboot, the HDMI no longer works and on the small LCD, I see the command prompt boot to pi@raspberrypi:~ $. From this point, I can no longer get MagicMirror to run, even if I try to run ./LCD-hdmi, MM does not start working again with HDMI. Something with the install of the Waveshare drivers is killing MM. I am genuinely at a loss.

aecandroid

@sdetweil I did, sorry, should’ve mentioned.

This is the code:


/bin/sh
unclutter &
xset -dpms # disable DPMS (Energy Star) features.
xset s off # disable screen saver
xset s noblank # don’t blank the video device
matchbox-window-manager &
#midori -e Fullscreen -a http://localhost:8080
chromium-browser --incognito --kiosk http://localhost:8080/

aecandroid

@sdetweil thank you for your help.

I’ve checked my mm.sh file and it reads as follows. Not sure where to go from here?


cd ~/MagicMirror
node serveronly &
sleep 30
xinit /home/pi/chromium_start.sh

Having been in quarantine, I’ve had a chance to sit down and try to sus out the issue. Everything seems to work 100% fine right up until I install LCD-show. After installing LCD-show and doing a reboot, MM never auto starts. I tried to run ./mmstart.sh and the results are below.

@aecandroid @lavolp3 So Just as an update, I tried to run ./LCD-hdmi and then sudo reboot. Plugged into the HDMI, the Pi reboots, LCD in the GPIO goes white, Pi boots to pi@raspberry: and does not start MM. The only change is the install of LCD-show; change driver to LCD4-show; back to LCD-hdmi; and MagicMirror no longer works? I even tried doing npm start in /MagicMirror and got nothing. I also tried sh mm.sh and got nothing. I don’t get what happens in the LCD-show install but it kills MagicMirror. I have a backup image of when its working on HDMI, so that’s my reset point at the moment. Not sure what to do, may just need to go for an HDMI display in the end. Anyway, thanks again for your help and suggestions.

@lavolp3 Below is my /boot/config.txt I used the drivers for LCD-show from the waveshare link above.I’ve done a fresh install on a new SD got everything up an running on Magic Mirror using HDMI as normal on the Raspberry PI Zero W. Then I do the LCD-show install and ./LCD4-show command. The device reboots and the LCD goes from white backlight to showing the boot cmd line. From there, it almost appears to get stuck. instead of seeing the pi@raspberry: the last line displayed is [ ok ] Started OpenBSD Secure Shell Server.

Thanks again for your help. Let me know if you need to see any other code.

@lavolp3 thanks for taking the time to reply. Unfortunately, this site hasn’t helped much. When I plug in via HDMI to my tele, everything works perfectly. However the small LCD screen does not use HDMI. Instead, it plugs into the GPIO. As for the resolution, this is what’s printed on the back of the screen so, all I can go by. I think I’m missing something in the /boot/config.txt that changes the video display from HDMI. Still no luck just yet.

I’ve looked everywhere I can and I am stuck. I have a Raspberry Pi Zero W that I’m using for Magic Mirror. Via HDMI, it works perfectly. All modules come up and it looks very clean. I was given a 4in LCD that plugs into the GPIO port. I thought, I could use that to build into a frame and have a small desktop MM. For the life of me, I can only get the cmd line to display on the LCD. Somewhere along the line, I did manage to get it to pull up the css page, but it was just black screen and it would flash every 20 seconds or so. The screen is a 4 inch RPi LCD (A) 320x480 XPT2046 Touch Controller

I have installed LCD-show and and installed LCD35-show. Any help anyone can lend would be greatly appreciated.
