For the MagicMirror app I used the webtechnologies HTML, JS and CSS.

For the native wrapper I used Cordova as @alexyak mentioned.

As UI Framework Ionic came in handy which handles different styles for the different mobile plattforms

Can you show how you built that case/frame for your frameless mirror? I would love to do a similar build, cause I am almost done with my own smart mirror, I finished everything - EXCEPT THE FRAME…been putting off what frame to get.

Any updates on this? I have the same problems as @DocVooDoo and others, i.e. Adafruit code works like a charm, dht_var not.

Difference I noticed is that dht_var uses wiringpi library and Adafruit not?! I tried a reinstall of wiringpi package without success.

Next, I compared the implementations of dht_var and the Adafruit driver for DHT22.

The essence of the Adafruit code is in file Adafruit_Python_DHT/source/Raspberry_Pi_2/pi_2_dht_read.c. It is meant for Pi2 and Pi3, implemented in C, and defines a function int pi_2_dht_read(int type, int pin, float* humidity, float* temperature). It implements the communication with the sensor using a 1-wire bus. The rest of the Adafruit package is mostly (well-done) sugar-coating for Python usage and selecting the right driver for any given platform.

We could simply rewrite dht_var by using this driver code. What do you think?

@shavesophere said in npm start dev:

@KirAsh4 sorry - i stand corrected! but that being said when i first started getting npm ERRS i tried this and it still did not work… anyway, moving forward now!

Well yeah, that’s different. If npm is giving you errors, no matter how you attempt to start it, the errors won’t magically go away. That’s like saying, the car won’t start if I’m sitting on the left side, maybe if I sit on the right side it might, but in reality there’s no gas in it. Switching seats isn’t going to fill the gas tank. :)

Concerning the self=this question, I found a neat article giving som explanations: https://alistapart.com/article/getoutbindingsituations

The other question: Could it be, that node_helper is executed on the server and the main script is executed on the client?

it does not :-(

@Bangee Thanks for your answer:slight_smile:

@MichMich, oooooh. I was about to start a new topic and demand access to those 'frowned' modules! :)

For troubleshooting or HOWTO questions, please post in the Troubleshooting thread:
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/209/mmm-trainconnections

Can you please create a print screen with your module capabilities? I guess, will be easier for users to evaluate your module.
