@wjdw87 Make sure that you created the mm.sh script as part of the pm2 process. Run ls -lh ~/ and see if mm.sh is one of the files.

There should be an entry that looks like this:

-rwxr-xr-x  1 pi pi   40 Oct 17 18:46 mm.sh

@wjdw87 The readme.md is also downloaded with the MirrorMirror code when you run the installation command. You’ll find it on your Pi at ~/MagicMirror/README.md.

@wjdw87 Indeed, you can. The documentation for the newsfeed module gives a simple example.

If you have not installed the package “unclutter”, simply plug a USB mouse into your Raspberry Pi and move it about. You should see the mouse cursor.

If you have installed unclutter, you may remove it via the command sudo apt-get remove unclutter.

@wjdw87 Why do you have the newsfeed module specified twice? You have:

{
	module: 'newsfeed',
	position: 'bottom_bar',
	config: {
		feeds: [
			{
				title: "Bloomberg Baby!",
				url: "https://www.bloomberg.com/feeds/podcasts/etf_report.xml"
			}
		],
		showSourceTitle: true,
		showPublishDate: true
	}
},
{
	module: 'newsfeed',
	position: 'bottom_bar',
	config: {
		feeds: [
			{
				tittle: "BBC Sci-Tech",
				url: "http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/video_and_audio/technology/rss.xml?edition=uk"
			}
		],
		showSourceTitle: true,
		showPublishDate: true
	}
},

Would it not make more sense to just put both feeds in the feed array?

{
    module: 'newsfeed',
    position: 'bottom_bar',
    config: {
        feeds: [
            {
                title: "Bloomberg Baby!",
                url: "https://www.bloomberg.com/feeds/podcasts/etf_report.xml"
            },
            {
                title: "BBC Sci-Tech",
		url: "http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/video_and_audio/technology/rss.xml?edition=uk"
            }
        ],
        showSourceTitle: true,
        showPublishDate: true
    }
}

(Also, you misspelled “title” in your second newsfeed. You have an extra “t”.)

Check the console log. I suspect you’ll see a security error preventing the browser from accessing the monitor. Either launch your mirror in dev mode (modify your mm.sh script to read DISPLAY=:0 npm start dev and then restart via pm2 restart 0) or browse to your mirror’s address via a web browser and enter developere mode.

Please post your config.js file so that we may take a look at it. Please remember to use the markdown features of the forum while you’re at it. :)

Acrylic is a plastic and as such is not conductive. The capacitance touch screen works by your body’s natural conductivity. Your finger touch disrupts an electrical field and that disruption is measured to determine where you touched it. The acrylic mirror is an effective insulator and will prevent your touch from registering.

If this blog/advertisement on photo booths is accurate, they use a Microsoft Kinect to perform motion tracking on the subject. Now adapting that would be an interesting RPi project!

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature!
