not really. if you look closely you can see it, depending on the light in the room.

yes, but my girl is now very happy ;-) :-D

Hi there,

I would like to present you my MagicMirror2

I use a 12 % Mirror

Here you can see my three samples I’ve orderd.

Hey there beginners like me :-)

I would like to show you, where and how to find errors while installing, using or developing MagicMirror 2.

What we need:
MagicMirror2 from github -> https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror installed on a Raspberry Pi.

Try to use the automatic install as described in the Readme.md.

A really good tool to see whats going on behind your MM2 is Firebug -> http://getfirebug.com/
If you run you MM2 as node serveronly you will have a lot of informations.

Connect to your Raspberry using Putty -> http://www.putty.org/
Username: pi
Password: raspberry

1. Start StandaloneServer: node serveronly
2. open your FirefoxBrowser http://192.168.0.150:8080 (replace your Raspy’s IP adresse)
3. Press F12 to start Firebug

If you are using PM2 you will get informations running these command:
pm2 info mm (replace mm whit your App Name)

Output:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pm2 info mm

 Add your own code metrics: http://bit.ly/code-metrics
 Use `pm2 logs mm (--lines 1000)` to display logs
 Use `pm2 monit` to monitor CPU and Memory usage mm

Here you’ll find again a lot of informations where to find your error_log or your out_log.

If you create a console.log("something"); debug message or output you’ll be able to see this info using the following command:
tail -f /home/pi/.pm2/logs/mm-out-0.log (replace the path with your paht to log or error file)

This will be continued…

so long Bangee…

Funny…

@paviro

pm2 start mm

@paviro sorry, i’m still a node noob… how can I check this? ;-)

@paviro i’ve added the console.log as you described, but there is no log output in firebug. where can I check this log elsewhere?

@paviro will there be any chance to log what information the sensor is returning?
I’m not sure why my screen is alway going on and off, but i’ll get nervous…
