RE: Brackets
@dpoleon Home Depot or any hardware store should have heavy duty interior angle brackets that will do the trick.
If you look at my mirror, you can see the aluminum brackets holding the wooden channels for my monitor. The one at the lower left corner is fairly visible. Something like that should be right up your alley.

Fantastic work. Great job on sourcing the parts.

RE: EoF's Touch Screen Magic Mirror (95% Completed)
@sorpionking674 He said it was a resistive touch panel, so I suspect not.

RE: Magic Mirror on Budget
@xenioPL You have a couple options. I used an acrylic from www.tapplastics.com in my mirror. It was much cheaper than an equivalent glass mirror.
I have a roll of the one-way mirror film, which is probably your cheapest option. It just requires more care when you apply it than a glass or acrylic piece. On the positive side, you can use regular glass with the film, which makes sourcing easier.
I bought the one-way film from Amazon.

RE: Newsfeed is not loading
I copied your module configuration and found a couple things. It looks like you may be having a character set issue. It may just be an artifact of the copy & paste. But here’s what I found:
- You need to use the single quote character around your text values.
module: 'newsfeed. I’m not sure what character is in there, but my system didn’t like it. - The
showSourceTitleandshowPublishDatevariables are not part of theconfig: {...}section, so the closed curly brace (}) needs to be moved up 2 lines to just after the closed bracket (]). - I think that once you make these changes, you’ll have to bounce the magic mirror process to get the content to show up. I was able to see the module, and received no errors, but the content didn’t load.

RE: Error on start
@04housemat What version of the Pi do you have and how did you install MagicMirror?
While you’re at it, head over www.openweathermap.com and 1) get an API key, and 2) find the location # for where you wish to see the current weather conditions and forecast. These need to go into the
config.jsfile. -
RE: Motion Detection with RaspiCam, Non-Module version
I believe I have it cracked. The white screen was due to MMAL Motion crashing whilst writing a frame to disk. When Motion crashes, it apparently jacks up the video output.
My current solution is to use PM2 to monitor the motion process and restart it when necessary. I’m testing now. If it works for a few more days I’ll report back.
Adding motion to PM2:
pm2 start motion. Be sure that the motion is not configured to run as a daemon (first option in config file). -
RE: MMM-voice
@wjdw87 - Looking at the
dependencies.shfile, the line it’s failing on isif sudo apt-get install bison libasound2-dev autoconf automake libtool python-dev swig python-pip -y ;If “command not found” is your error message, it looks like
apt-getis not installed on your Mac. -
RE: My Build
@wjdw87 At a guess, it looks like the package manager
npmis not installed on your Mac.
