@sonicgoose said in My first Magic Mirror build in an old imac:

I’ve been doing the same thing with a 20" white Intel iMac, but have had one helluva time. None of the display controllers work with the native LG 1600x1050 display Apple put in these things, so I’ve basically gutted the iMac and am putting in a new display, etc.

Not to hijack the thread, but this is how mine turned out.

also not wanting to hijack thread… but what weather module are you using?

thanks

Richie

Nailed it down…

            occupiedCMD: {notification: 'PAGE_CHANGED', payload: 2},
            vacantCMD  : {notification: 'PAGE_CHANGED', payload: 0},

happy days, now i can go to bed!

@Meidlmarkus

Awesome… thanks I’ll try it out soon!

… worked like a charm!

hi, how far do you mean?
but ive tested to a low whisper from 4ish meters away in my quiet room!
hope this helps

ive been trying with out luck to have my cadenday display the absolute ie. Oct 16, then when its 20 days out it switches to relative, via the urgency option ie event in X days, then when 24 hours out it switches to event in X hours via get relative. ive mucked about in my config from reading the docs but cant get it working, maybe im not understanding or missreading the docs.

heres my calendar config below…

Thanks

    {
      module: 'calendar_monthly',
      position: 'top_left',
      config: {}
    },
    {
      module: 'calendar',
      header: "stuff comin' up...",
      position: 'top_left',
      config: {
        colored: true,
        coloredSymbolOnly: true,
        maxTitleLength: 25,
        fade: false,
        timeFormat: 'absolute',
        urgency: 20,
        getRelative: 24,
        calendars: [
          {
            symbol: 'calendar',
            color: '#4287f5',
            url: 'my url'
          },
          {
            symbol: 'apple-alt',
            color: '#ffffff',
            url: 'my url'
          },
          {
            symbol: 'robot',
            color: '#6dd300',
            url: 'my url'
          }
        ]
      }
    },

have you a network speed checker running? that could account for the 500mb your using?

@sdetweil thanks Sam, ill give it a look nd hve a go!

hi team
so ive been using a couple of scripts to do:

1. uses fs watch to check for add/delete of a download folder and then print output to text
2. my MMM checks thats text file and displays the last 10 entries, add one colour and delete a different

which worked fine, but now i want to try and use a database of those file names and locations along with their hash info so i can still use fs watch to add but also delete from database if the file is deleted

i dont want someont to di it for me, id just like to be pointed in the right direction links to similar or a toutorial the database will be run on a mac

thanks

howdy folks, just noticed that my cpu is running higher than normal so i taught restarting my mirror would sort it out but it didnt, even with pm2 magicmirror stopped its still showing that its running high. i did top and it shows npm running up to 25% on cpu

tried to upload pic but having problems, should see screen shot when click on like

restarting my pi seems to solve problem for a while, it reoccurs!

@sdetweil as always thanks for your help!

i think i need to bring in the expert: @Bugsounet have you any thoughts?

could there be a way to shut it properly if the mirror is refreshed?

@raf how did you solve it, incase anyone else hase the same issue?

and you can tell from that output that it hung?

I think its when i refresh MM, it doesnt close snowboy properly so when MM refreshes snowboy is open already and hangs?
EDIT* (I tested the theory and if i refresh my MM then snowboy goes into that error loop.)

would that make sense?
