    • RE: Pi 4 B 4GB

      @sdetweil Anything to be done for it? When I have just MM running all is well .
      Just seems to be a problem when editing.
      So that is coming from the origin point of link?
      It is national radar from NWS and I don’t update it locally in config.js
      I’ll swag this and guess it generates that Vuex stuff locally when the NWS updates the radar image remotely?

    • RE: Pi 4 B 4GB

      @sdetweil I may have accidentally stumbled on what is causing the Pi to slog down.
      Increasing the swap helped but definitely didn’t cure.
      In process of troubleshooting a module by using Dev Tools Console, I noticed a different module, and IMO the module CONTENT is generating something called a Vuex Mutatation. I don’t have a clue what that is about other than it appears tied to the National Weather Service link I am using in MMM-SmartWebDesign.
      I saw the line 304 on index.htmlso I pulled up MM’s index.html and it doesn’t even go that high.
      I’ve heard of Chart.js and Moment.js but Vue.js is a new one for me. See attatched image. Any thoughts, suggestions…

    • Dakboard LOOOOOL

      Before I stumbled on to MM I messed around with Dakboard which is a subscription based Magic Mirror clone although I don’t know which one came first.
      I just got a reply from Dakboard technical support for a question I asked in JULY 2020!!!
      That will go in my store of memorable customer service horror stories.

    • RE: Controller Board crashes after a while

      @nyghtx You have the appropriate driver for screen installed on Pi? I know when I’ve bought screens that connect with ribbon cable I’ve had to install the correct driver to get it to work.

    • MMM-NewsFeedTicker.

      Is there a missing component in the MMM-NewsFeedTicker. I’ve installed it twice, one two different machines and it stopped MM in its tracks. Put in modules folder as required, copied config.js module block and put in config folder.
      No settings changes, launched MM and got black screen. Pulled section of config.js back out, restarted, black screen.
      Deleted MMM-NewsFeedTicker from modules folder. Everything back to normal.
      Tried to launch dev tools but while window came up, there was an error message where normally would be css code, etc.

    • RE: Weather Module Help -- Using weathergov

      @harmzj that 32F threw me for several days before I made assumption that module was fine, it was somehow connected to data refresh (imo).
      I generally try to stick to “official” sites like NWS/NOAA to avoid things like when Wunderground pulled plug on their data. I have NWS national radar coverage in MMM-SmartWebDisplay and on big TV project that image covers bottom half of US and display not crowded.
      Similar deal with MMM-Jast using Yahoo data. Unlikely they pull plug on that data feed any time soon .

    • RE: Pi 4 B 4GB

      @sdetweil Using your setup routine. Answer yes to both questions in your setup.
      Primary culprit is when I’m using Developer Tools. Right now with nothing running but mm, MMM-SystemStatsshows about 30% free RAM.
      When I would have VS Code, terminal, Developer Tools running it would get down around 5% free RAM.
      Not sure how MMM-WeatherChart,MMM-SmartWebDisplayand MMM-Jastimpact things since WeatherChart is using Chart.js , Jast has the scrolling ticker and SystemStats has a pretty quick update rate.

    • Pi 4 B 4GB

      This is a sort of generic question. I have a Pi 4B w/ 4GB ram attached to large screen TV
      When I am actively changing things via config.js, custom.css, terminal open, the Pi really bogs down to point of locking up. I can generally twiddle my fingers for a while and it will come back and I can do some work which will bog it down again.

      If I finish what I am doing, close open windows, reboot, reload MM it runs just fine,
      I don’t see this on PC sized monitors at all.
      Is this due to trying to drive big screen and edit scripts at same time and could I resolve by changing out Pi for 8GB model?

    • RE: Weather Module Help -- Using weathergov

      @harmzj Here are my weathergov config.js components.
      You might want to read this post I did regarding weathergov.
      Once I read through API a few times I figured out how to make it work.
      They say it on api page but be aware that weather.gov resolves back to certain National Weather Service sites. That is explained in gridpoint discussion.
      Don’t use tableClass: 'medium',unless you are doing this on big TV.
      One last thing. Every now and then you might see an unusual number for the current temperature. Mine will show 32 F but it comes back. Pretty sure it is due mine and the NWS updates crossing paths at same time so I get that 32F number but on next update it will be correct.

    • RE: My third MagicMirror, InfoScreen

      @uros76 I use SmartPi from Amazon but if you do a search on 7" raspberry pi screen case or similar on Amazon there are lots of alternatives. Thing I like about that particular case is it comes with a Y cable that powers both 7" screen and the Pi with one power supply. I looked at others that utilize 7" screen, bought it and have subsequently bought a couple more. I think initial driver for me was the base but I am well satisfied with that brand/style case + screen setup.

      @uros76 I’ve made a couple using this case and 7" screen. Nice tidy setup for a desk.

    • MMM-Jast 2 Tickers on top of each other

      I was trying to figure out how to position the ticker frame inside the body of module on screen because it runs off right side of monitor using CSS. I was not able to figure out how to make that happen but it created another question when I was messing with the Jast CSS.
      Why are there two tickers that lay on top of each other. The seem identical to me. At first blush the ticker looks fine with exception of running of right side of screen. This picture looks okay.
      Jast Ticker.jpg
      In my hunt for CSS for module I used dev tools and came across this.
      Dev Tools Jast Ticker 1 and 2.jpg
      Often times there are other configuration items or CSS in the modules CSS or JS files, so went to look at MMM-Jast.jsfile which was a dead end for me other than generally understanding he was pulling from a different location.
      That is this image.
      MMM-Jast.js.jpg
      So turned to the MMM-Jast.css file. to look at that file and saw this one which has padding-left: 100% }Jast Padding.jpg
      Since the ticker does stop short of where it should, changed that padding value off off 100%. This was how I discovered there where two ticker frames laying on top of each other.
      Ticker Overlap.jpg
      So I have two unanswered puzzles.
      1)Why 2 tickerframes?
      2)How do I shift the ticker frame to left?

    • RE: Streaming News Sites for MMM-iFrame-Ping

      @joeronimo Serious question. How do you know that they won’t allow content to be streamed?
      Reason I ask is that while not a streaming issue, I’ve tried to save certain livestreams and YouTube tells me in no uncertain terms that I cant save a certain live feed. Based on that I would think if you tried to click the share icon and copy or embed the feed they would do same.

    • Code editor question

      I’m using VS Code as my editor but I assume other code editors the same general functionality.
      There is icon on left side vertical that when I float mouse over it says source control. I have ignored to date and will likely continue in that mode but can someone give me a thumbnail description is going on between the left side and right side code panels.
      I don’t mind breaking my own stuff but if I am reading the help file in VS Code correctly, the source repository is on Github and is the code that is on left side while mine is on right side. This seems to me to be **LOOK BUT DON'T TOUCH**
      I have a Github account of some variety but have only used it to retreive Adafruit code for various sensors in the past.
