@Chrisflex - They’re pretty much one and the same. You already have git installed. Open a terminal in the modules folder, clone the module repository into it, follow the module’s instructions on installing & configuring.

RE: Two Instances in PM2
@shazglass All right, we’ll get you through it.
pm2 runs on Pi startup and will start your mirror process for you. There should be only one listing. If you ran the installation script and said “yes” to using pm2, there should be only one process called MagicMirror in pm2.
To remove the
mm
process from pm2, enter the following:cd ~ pm2 stop all pm2 delete mm pm2 save rm mm.sh pm2 flush pm2 start MagicMirror
At this point, your Magic Mirror interface should appear after a minute or so. You can press
ctrl-q
to exit the Magic Mirror interface, but pm2 should bring it back up in short order. -
RE: MMM-Globe
@dhruvgami1989 - I wonder if the globe image is pushing the upper three regions higher? I have a couple things to try, but I don’t have a solution really.
- Turn off the compliments temporarily and put the globe module in lower_third.
- Reduce your globe image size and see if the weather forecast reappears
- Move the globe to full_screen below, which should remove it from the shuffling that comes with the module positions.
I hope one of these works for you.

Magic Mirror Mark IV
Yet another gift, this one for family. Lots of improvements in the basic wood craftsmanship, yet a few basic errors that I’m still kicking myself over. Most notably, the glass and the monitor aren’t the same size and it really affects how it turned out. The monitor isn’t the same quality as the previous ones and it shows if you’re looking for it. Ah, well.
The next one will be better.
That said, the miters on this one came out really well. A couple good passes with a router bit to get the multi-level effect:
The Pi camera is attached to the construction paper. I had a devil of a time getting it flush, so I mounted it to the plastic case of a microSD->SD card adapter.

RE: 8kb "compliments module" works. 204kb "compliments module" fails to display. how to fix?
@steed - You should not be modifying the
compliments.js
file. Any compliments you wish to insert into the module should be specified in theconfig.js
file. In your case, you want to modify theconfig.js
file to point to your large compliments JSON file.Roughly:
{ module: "compliments", position: "lower_third", config: { remoteFile:'/home/pi/bookCompliments.json' } }

RE: Developing USGS Earthquake Map (2MB GIf warning) Topic 2
Thank you for the inspiration. At the moment, this is a work in progress.
It’s a very basic implementation of planetary.js. But it seems to be a mature framework.

RE: Weird graphical error
Problem resolved. I did two things:
- Moved to the real OpenGL driver, not the fake one.
- Changed the resolution of the Pi to “Monitor Default” instead of hard-coding to my monitor resolution.
I don’t know which of these two did it, but I haven’t experienced the graphical problem since.

RE: MMM-RAIN-MAP (new: version 2.x)
@singhharry12 - That’s exactly what I did. Add this line to your configuration:
osmMapUrl: "https://cartodb-basemaps-{s}.global.ssl.fastly.net/dark_all/{z}/{x}/{y}.png"
Looks great (actual rain on rain map today!)

RE: Upgrading Mirror Mark II
Yeah, I don’t know how I keep missing notifications for this thread. The globe is just a video clip that the company purchased through the marketing department. It’s all of 60 seconds long and is playing through VLC. The Magic Mirror software isn’t running on the center and right displays.
I worked out the command to play the video on a loop and with a borderless configuration and used a cron job to play it after boot.

RE: A Question About Power Cables
I use a travel charger. It has an AC outlet for the monitor and a hefty USB socket for the Pi. Plus, you can plug other things into the USB sockets (such as LED lights).
