@sdetweil my run-start.sh already contains the # before !bin/bash-x see below:

#!/bin/bash
  # use bash instead of sh
./untrack-css.sh

if [ -z "$DISPLAY" ]; then #If not set DISPLAY is SSH remote or tty
        export DISPLAY=:0 # Set by default display
fi
# get the processor architecture
arch=$(uname -m)
false='false'

all my modules have package.json and I did do a npm install. The last module I installed was mmm-remote control via the script that was on the module github page.

@sdetweil I just searched on MM forum I did git pull and after that done the npm install but have problems. I cannot also access the mirror on another machine. I have forwarded the mirror ports too.

@sdetweil git pull but I had to stash as I had made changes to the .css file of one of the modules.

Hi all

Can anyone help please?

Thanks.

@spitzlbergerj thank you.

So how much would you charge me for the frame and shipping altogether?

@Fozi nope none of them worked for me very surprising.

@Fozi Hi

I am on raspberry pi 4 and I think wiringPi does not work with it as the guy has stopped developing it any further. Is there any other way I could make this work?

Thanks.

@Fozi ok will do thanks.

@spitzlbergerj thank you for answering.

1. essentially its the silicone thats holding the mirror currently, I mean the groove does support it and hold it tight also. The reason why I asked about the groove is because I wanted to use the silicone alone and as you mentioned that the silicone is not see through or staining the mirror so you could use essentially alot of silicone to stick it to the back panel.

2. that makes sense.

3. I was under the impression that the mirror has to be covered with even blackness from one side in order for it to display the correct non distorted image on the mirror, so even the slightest can cause the image to distort especially around the groove in your case.

How big is the frame? and how much do you think it would roughly cost to ship it to the UK? if its not worth it then can you tell me how you made the groove on the wood? I mean like you mentioned the groove holds the mirror stronger in addition to the silicone.

@spitzlbergerj hi well done and looks amazing.
Quick question:

1. Can you not glue the mirror using the silicone on the back panel directly? Rather using the groove in the wood? Is it possible?

2. The back panel how is it holding the monitor? I read your comment that you have your back panel cut around the monitor and it fits in perfectly and tightly. How and where did you apply the glue tape ?

3. Finally do you have any distortions of your image from your mirror? Especially around the edges where you have your silicone in the groove and the mirror? Because the blackness of the groove is different from the back panel and as well as the monitor?

Thanks.

@Fozi so I got a new radar sensor set the resistance to 80ohms which would give me around 40 to 50cm detection distance. I am using @cowboysdude script.

My mm is running on my rpi 4b 4g and at present its connected to my TV. However the rada sensor is not working as the script is meant to detect motion and if there is no motion it would turn the tv off after 20 seconds. I tried many times but have failed.

Any ideas? Or maybe my sensor is not working. Is there a simple script that I could test the sensor?

Thanks.

@Fozi Hi
Can i solder pin 1 and 2 of the resistor to the radar sensor? I accidentally broke pin no 3.

Amazing @BreakBeatJunkie well done. Do you mind sharing the components and how you put everything together please?

Thanks.

@schlachtkreuzer6 how do you change the image? In which folder is the image?

@sdetweil I had to add the following in my config.txt and it works now.

hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=81

do you mind sharing your /boot/config.txt please?

Also after doing these settings the raspberry pi doesnt connect to wifi.

Its a disaster this rpi 4 tbh

@sdetweil hi quick question… so i connected my raspberry pi 4 4gb to hdmi o but there is no display ? do i need to do some settings? my raspberry pi doesnt display anything? is that normal for raspberry pi 4?

@sdetweil ok I will try it when I get home mate. Thanks.

@sdetweil ok so I will install like everyone else i.e. server and browser on the same machine. Thanks for sorting my head on that.

Now with regards to the install script I do not need to follow this link (https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/Auto-Starting-MagicMirror) to autostart magicmirror? as you said thats all taken care in the install script? Am i correct? or?

@sdetweil said in (electron:2910): Gtk-WARNING **: 14:16:40.324: cannot open display: :0:

the mirror is run without a display (server only), and some browser somewhere is used to
access the ‘web server’

you might do 2 where u want to provide Mirror access to multiple systems but don’t need it where the pi is installed…

ok makes sense. I normally access the mirror by port forwarding my raspberry pi on port 8080 and thats how I can access it on different machines or at work. And I like it that way to be fair. Because eventually my raspberry pi 4 will be inside the 2 way mirror running the Magic Mirror software.
