Hi! I’ve run through the posts - though I haven’t been able to find anybody that’s had the sample problem that I’ve had. To test the hardware, I put a towel over the IR sensor, and I find that the monitor flickers on and off, even when the sensor is covered.

Has anybody had this issue? Or can suggest some solutions?

Thanks!

@jhermes34 There’s an npm install that you need to run in the MMM-MyCommute directory, ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-MyCommute. This shouldn’t (?) affect pm2 at all.

@j.e.f.f No sir. Though to be fair, with other modules I didn’t run npm install? Happy to start from a clean slate on my next opportunity to see if it’s necessary again (I’m away for the weekend, sadly).

@j.e.f.f Thanks so much for responding so quickly. I wish I’d posted again last night, though after I got it working, I threw my hands up in confusion and went straight to bed. I nuked the directory, re-cloned from GitHub, and when I did my ‘npm install’, I did so using ‘sudo’ and upon starting MagicMirror, I saw the module load the way others have, and how I would expect to. I don’t know why in my case I needed elevated priv’s for the npm install to work, though I’m not complaining :P

Thanks for being helpful! Also - really excellent module. You’ve really done a great job.

@strawberry-3.141 Thank you :D If not for this, then for future posts.

@j.e.f.f Hi there! I know the original post you replied to is a little dated, though I’m experiencing this as well. I’ve taken the config you have posted here:
https://github.com/jclarke0000/MMM-MyCommute
With the changes you also suggested for the header and text, and inserted my API key, and I’m seeing nothing appear. I’ve taken the OP’s suggestion, rm’ing the folder, re-cloning and re-installing, though it isn’t working for me. Any ideas on what it could be?

Here’s the output from MM, and it looks normal? I tried another user’s suggestion of rebooting the pi, and sadly that didn’t work for me :(
