I am wondering if it would be possible to install our beloved MagicMirror System to an old outdated Android Tablet.
I have an old unused Google Nexus 7 (2012) and already flashed it with a LineageOS rom, so it is Android 7.1 (i guess)
Would be nice if i could get the MM in server only mode to run on this device. The touchscreen is a goodie aswell.
Has anyone done this already and can give me a hint?
I currently do not have any idea, how to start.
Or is Android a showstopper in this case?
thanks guys. Very nice to have some guys like you here. Like this it’s fun.
too late. now i feel bad
;)
Already tested it on my Notebook, to see it in real. Very very nice. Thats why i asked.
cool. thats easy.
Thanks for the explanation. Fix added ;)
uncomment the “air stuff” for the moment
/* if (this.config.useAir != false || aquis != undefined) {
var aqius = this.air.aqius;
var aqi = document.createElement("div");
aqi.classList.add("xsmall", "bright");
if (aqius < 51) {
aqi.innerHTML = this.translate("Air Quality Index: ") + "" + aqius + "";
} else if (aqius > 50 && aqius < 101) {
aqi.innerHTML = this.translate("Air Quality Index: ") + "" + aqius + "";
} else if (aqius > 100 && aqius < 151) {
aqi.innerHTML = this.translate("Air Quality Index: ") + "" + aqius + "";
} else if (aqius > 150 && aqius < 201) {
aqi.innerHTML = this.translate("Air Quality Index: ") + "" + aqius + "";
} else {
aqi.innerHTML = this.translate("Air Quality Index: ") + "" + aqius + "";
}
wrapper.appendChild(aqi);
} */
@cowboysdude needs to check it, since the “aquis” variabel is undefined it quits. Had the same error and i needed some time to find the cause
edit: while i am reading i guess it is just a typo in the first line. should be “aqius” instead of “aquis” ;)
edit2: yes. thats it. just change
the line
if (this.config.useAir != false || aquis != undefined) {
to
if (this.config.useAir != false || aqius != undefined) {
and you are good to go again.
Sadly i have no idea how to push the fix to the git repository
I’m going to attempt to create a lite version of this module for Pi users when I get the opportunity. In actuality, I’d like to rebuild the module entirely as there’s a lot of code cleanup I’d like to do. Although Rob S was the original creator of the globe, he assisted me in making heavy changes to the code, and I had to make some additions to make it compatible with the MM framework. Unbelievably, this was actually heavier on processing prior to release. Performance improvements are at the top of my list, as are a few other things.
How is it ongoing with the lite module?
I would love to see your module on my mirror. Sadly nothing else then a RPi3 is possible at the moment.
Runs perfect on a Win 10 x64.
One thing for me is, i don’t like the fullscreen, because i want to test some stuff before i bring it to the real MM.
Try instead of
“npm start” a
“node serveronly”
This launches the MM not in full screen. You can point now to your browser and type
localhost:8080
This will show your MM installation in your favourit browser.
In my case, the better option :)
try
npm install coffee-script -g
and then the rest of the apps in the warning
great tutorial. Will give it a try later on.
I made the complicated way around it and created a VirtualMaschine with Debian, with a standalone MM installation.
This natively running thing is way better. Thanks
sounds interesting. Do you control it with a touchscreen?
Can you maybe upload a screenshot how it looks like?
i made exactly what you described, but i launch the two scripts (one for off and one for on) via the crontab.
Go again trough the MM install description for the pi and check all settings again.
i made a error and put one line in the wrong place and had similar problems like you. Since i double checked it, everything is fine
my fork looks like this.
Almost anything is hardcoded or directly changed in the code since i am to lazy and just made it for my needs ;)
alert and update module disabled -> problem solved ;)
cool. thanks for the explanation.
So what can i do, if i do not want to update, because it would overwrite my changes, but get rid of the “please update the MMM-NOAA module” message on the mirror?
is there a git command to ignore local changes?
can you explain what else you have changed?
Since today the module is stuck at “Gathering weather data”.
The mirror tells me, that there is a update, and i should upgrade.
Since i made massive manual changes in the module on many different places to fit my needs, i don’t really want to do it all over again.
So it would be helpful to know, what lines changed so the great module works again.
I am not really into the git thing, so i don’t know how i can compare the changes (if possible)
@Niggich
Change the css file in the module folder like this
.MMM-RTSPStream .innerWrapper {
position: relative;
width: 352px; /* Video width + 2*border + 2*padding */
height: 242px;
/* border: 1px solid white; */
/*float: left;*/
display: inline-block;
text-align: center;
margin: 15px;
}
the line “border: 1px solid white;” needs to be adujsted or uncommented like in my case
Hi all,
what are your top3 modules you can’t live without?
Beside the very useful standard calendar and weather forecast module i love this three ones:
Please share your most important modules and strip it down to only 3.
@Barbarian said in What kind of glass do you use for your MagicMirrors?:
So I am almost done with the development of my MagicMirror
haha.
Sorry dude, thats just a dream. You will never be done with it™. And thats the fun thing about this.
Some crazy guys here are developing such nice things, that you always want to “upgrade”, or even make it better.
Maybe it would be helpful to write done the country you are living in, to give you more local specific tips.
