@4lice - If you know of an RSS feed for “makeup tips of the day” or “Women of Power News” or the like, you can easily add it to the Newsfeed module.

@Damian Sure, I can do that. Let me re-write this a bit.

Step 1 - Create a script called sonos.sh in the home directory (~).

cd ~
nano sonos.sh

Enter the following in the nano editor for the contents of your sonos.sh script:

cd ~/node-sonos-http-api
DISPLAY=:0 npm start

Save the file and exit the nano editor.

Step 2 - Make your script executable by entering chmod +x sonos.sh

Step 3 - Tell pm2 to manage your sonos script so that it is always running in the background:

pm2 start sonos.sh
pm2 save

Verify that pm2 is managing both your sonos.sh script and the mm.sh script by typing pm2 status all. You should see two lines, one for each script.

Step 4 - Clear the logs and bounce your mirror and verify that everything works as planned.

pm2 flush
pm2 restart all

Okay, a couple things. sono.sh is your script that starts your process. ~ is the shortcut to the pi user’s home directory, also known as /home/pi. In order to run scripts from the command line, you have to precede the script name with ./

So let’s take a moment to verify the state of your pi. Change to the home directory and pull up the file list with a couple switches to see if sonos.sh exits:

pi@raspi:~ $ cd ~
pi@raspi:~ $ ls -lh sonos.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pi pi 26 April 15 11:50 sonos.sh

There will be some variation in your results. If you see the phrase “No such file or directory”, then the file does not exist at that location. Also, you may not have any “x” entries when you do see the file listed. If so, the file is not marked executable, so it won’t run. You can fix this by typing chmod +x sonos.sh

I’m a little unclear as to what commands exactly are in your sonos.sh file. Could you please enter cat sonos.sh and reply with the results?

Adding the script to pm2 is done by typing pm2 start sonos.sh. You can then verify that pm2 has picked it up by typing pm2 status all. That will give you a list of the processes that pm2 is controlling. You should see both your mm.sh process and your sonos.sh process.

Give that a go and report back to us.

Excellent work. I’m still nervous about the mirror tape adhesive, but to my knowledge nobody has had a problem with the frameless mirrors.

It looks great!

@MarkV - I don’t think the various technologies make much of a difference, honestly. Turn the contrast up and turn the backlight down and you should have a seamless image in your mirror.

Stick with an LCD monitor for thickness sake (instead of CRT). Other than that… the key features I look for are downward-facing ports, HDMI input and built-in speakers. OLED is nice if you’re gaming, but your mirror most likely is going to be displaying white on black.

@vaju0503 - If it helps, I have built two mirrors with VanityVision via www.twowaymirrors.com and one with acrylic via www.tapplastics.com. I definitely prefer the glass vs. acrylic, but I have no experience between brand names of glass. That said, the acrylic mirror did what I wanted it to do. Honestly, I think the differences are minor enough that you won’t care.

@hayman I believe the default compliments are hard coded (there are only ten of them). You’ll have to write your own compliments in Dutch or any other language. You can either include them in your module configuration or use a separate compliments JSON file.

You can stop them all at once by entering pm2 stop all

@creo519 - I’m sorry to hear that. My experience with TAP Plastics was a positive one.

I usually mount a power strip along the inside edge of the frame and run the Pi from there. This one pushes 2.4A on each of 4 USB ports. I use one for the Pi and one for an LED strip light around the frame. Here’s the one I normally order: http://a.co/evJGa7V

@shbatm - I put one of those USB plugs on my motorcycle and it was insanely easy. They’re compact and push good current. That sounds like a good idea.
