@steed said in i need help getting the dailybibleverse module set up.:

i pasted the MMM-DailyBibleVerse folder here ‘/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/default/MMM-DailyBibleVerse’

This path is incorrect. Modules go in the /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules folder. That path is assumed when you add the module name to the config.js entry. So when you type module: 'MMM-DailyBibleVerse', it’s going to look in that path for a folder with that name.

@BlackTalon Interesting. Thanks for figuring out the issue.

Question: I could load this on the Raspberry Pi 3 at the office and then take a video of the end result. Would that be interesting to the community? Or should we just call this a greater-than-raspberry module?

@kellogg76 - With the latest update of Raspbian, the installation script has not kept up with the changes. I would try a manual install instead.

You’ve already deleted the folder, so run:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror.git
cd MagicMirror
npm install
npm start

Let us know if you hit any errors.

@cr4z33 - I’m glad you got it figured out. Don’t forget to mark the topic as solved!

@tidus5 The OpenGL drivers are experimental. I think we’re pushing the Pi - even the RPi3 - to its absolute limit with this type of rendering. A stable power supply isn’t the issue. It’s an issue of raw computing power.

@Mykle1 - They were included in previous Raspbian distributions. Ever since about December or so, the installation script hasn’t been working.

@artworks79 Sure, no problem.
For starters, you probably copied the config.js.sample file to config.js to get you started. That’s great, as the config.js file is what the Magic Mirror software reads in order to arrange and configure the various modules. For future installations, I recommend making a local copy of the config.js file and then dropping that in your new mirrors.

In the config.js file, you’ll see an entry for the compliments module that tells the system which module to load (compliments), where to place it and what configuration values to pass into the module (config: {...}). This part of the config.js file modifies how the Magic Mirror software treats the compliments module.

Inside that config section, you can modify the behavior of the module itself. You can change the update interval or change the compliments themselves. Here’s the one pulled from my config.js.

{
        module: 'compliments',
        position: 'bottom_center',
        config: {
                updateInterval: 30000,
                compliments: {
                        morning: [
                        "Good morning, sunshine!"
                                        ],
                        afternoon: [
                        "It's a pretty day outside. Go play in it!"
                                        ],
                        evening: [
                                "Wasn't the sunset beautiful?",
                                "Wasn't the day just spectacular?"
                                ]
                        }
                }
        },

Inside the config: {...} section there is a variable called compliments. The value of this variable must be an array, as specified by the morning: [...] structure. Please note that arrays require square brackets. Each compliment must be enclosed in double quotes " and each compliment is separated by a comma. You can have as many compliments as you like in each array. In the compliments:{...} variable you are allowed a morning array, an afternoon array and an evening array. No other array names will have any effect.

@Eunanibus - Well, since you’re asking… these are the things I remember from the original code that I would love to see implemented.

• Specify locations to be linked by an arc.
• Specify colors used for the pins
• Specify colors used for the arcs
• An updateInterval to control when to refresh the globe w/ the build animation
• A true/false switch to display the default pins.
• Alternately, an array for unlabeled pins that will replace the defaults if you provide it.

Thanks!

@sdetweil - I ran into the same problem on Firefox. I conclude that it’s not a browser issue. It seems to be a file issue. I can upload JPG but not PNG. That’s easy enough to work around.

@AndrewS097 - As another option, there are a couple people on here who have created frameless mirrors. It gives a very modern look which is right in line with the technology.
