    • RE: MMM-SpaceX Only Showing 2020 Launches

      @KungFuCharlie Well, I’m not a fan of Musk but am a fan of SpaceX and have been following SpaceX for years and you are not going to get a posted schedule from SpaceX.
      Dude just doesn’t do things like that.

      The fact that you can’t find anything is because there is nothing, not because you have’t found it.
      KSC puts out a launch schedule for KSC and CCSFS may put out a schedule for launches on their base but military generally cagey about putting out schedules for anything under assumption you are providing possible information to adversaries.
      FWIW, I’ve been to 2 SpaceX launches and SpaceX DOES NOT PUT OUT A SCHEDULE
      The best you are going to get is to get on both KSC & SpaceX email notification lists and you’ll get an email heads-up when tickets go on sale.
      SpaceX is a privately owned business and as such they are under no obligation to put out a schedule to the public.

    • RE: MMM-SpaceX Only Showing 2020 Launches

      @KungFuCharlie FWIW I would not expend too much energy on when SpaceX is going to launch anything other than paying satellites and provisions to ISS. That’s his prerogative as right now it is just a testing campaign but the dude launches on 420 because “heh heh weed” isn’t going to give you a schedule.
      Now if you can find anything coming out of KSC & CCSFS for ULA, SpaceX contracted missions probably accurate.
      Musk/SpaceX showboating Starship and the heavy lift booster and expecting them to stick to anything remotely like a schedule is a waste of your time.

    • RE: Examples of physical sensor data

      @cyberdie This unit. I pulled picture from Sparkfun although I did not buy it from Sparkfun. They are all over the web.
      Screenshot 2023-08-06 211907.png

      I bought mine from Argent Data Systems
      It has wind speed wind direction and a tipping bucket style rain gage.

      I also bought a this hat from BC Robotics
      Weather Hat.jpg

      Poke around on BC Robotics and they have same device for wind speed, direction, etc. Make notice of price on Argent and BC Robotics.

      Hat is nice because it has room for other sensors to solder to board.

      BC Robotics also have a n EXCELLENT tutorial for how to set it up and program everything to spit the data out in a readable format.

    • apt upgrade question

      what is the difference in dist-upgrade and full-upgrade when it comes to updating a Pi.
      I can ask some obscure question about a Pi, totally unrelated to updating a Pi and I will get multiple hits on Google.
      For example I recently did a Google search on how to format the date and time.
      The question is irrelevant.
      But every answer will start with:

      1. First update your Pi with the following commands.
        sudo apt update
        sudo apt full-upgrade
        OR
        sudo apt dist-upgrade

    • Examples of physical sensor data

      I’m just looking for any example modules out in MM land that pull in and present data from weather sensors inside a MM module. Just want to look at them for now.
      Have multiple weather oriented sensors such as wind speed, wind direction and total rainfall that have been sitting idle and want to see how that works

    • RE: MMM-jast

      @BKeyport A little side note but with the proliferation of bigger screens people are using to display MM’s, that block of font sizes in main.css is worth lifting the whole block and adjusting all your fonts in one place rather than tweaking each modules font individually.

      I found that by accident but once screen size crosses a certain size threshold you don’t need to scale up the font anymore. Just put more modules on application.
      For example, Say your main living area you have a 60 inch screen and you set an appropriate font size for that, if you step up to a72 inch screen you don’t need to ratchet up the font size. My accidental discovery which was just playing around, a 4 inch tall font on your 60 inch TV doesn’t need to step up to a 6 inch font on a 72 inch.

    • RE: Pin placements -

      @Kastore It depends on the device but the color of the wires is not random. Typically red = + but could either be 3.3V or 5V. Black will be - or grd. I can’t ever remember all of the pins but if you do an image search on GPIO Pinout you will get a ton of pictures of how all the pins are laid out.
      Yellow can be a bit more arbitrary but if you don’t have the device literature you can do a search on the devices name and/or number

    • RE: MMM-DHT-Sensor stopped working

      @Jonae How many wires on sensor? 3 or 4? There are some DHT sensors with 4, some with 3.
      If it is 4, and/or you know it is I2C ,try running ```sudo i2cdetect -y 1’‘’ .
      Should spit you out an address 38.

      If not I have a 3 wire sensor I can hook up and run through setup. My 3 wire sensor and DHT supposed to be about twins.

    • RE: amber alert module

      @dave462 You need a Raspberry PI, micro SD card to install Pi OS, then you install MM software. You need a monitor. WiFi Mouse and Keyboard so you can plug fob into Pi, interact with the Magic Mirror software.
      Once that is up and running then you can address an Amber Alert module.
