@jimb said in Modifying the Config File:

IP Config from the OS prompt on the Pi yields -
“Link/loopback 'all zeros…”
“inet 127.0.0.0/8 scope host lo”

This should be the first entry of three in the response when you enter ip addr. The next entry should be your ethernet port, and the final entry should be your wireless LAN. My suggestion is to try this on your pi: ip addr | grep inet

Secondly, when Sam told you to switch on SSH, did you go into the config app and do it? You can get to it from the desktop but the fastest way is to type sudo raspi-config and then navigate to “Interface Options”->“SSH”. Make sure it is enabled.

@1a2a3a - One of the modules that I maintain is MMM-WeatherBackground. It will put a background image on your mirror and change it up according to what your weather app forecasts.

I find that the key feature is the ability to set the transparency of the background image. That way you can adjust how much of the background image is present vs the reflection that you see.

@Syosse - In my experience, the light transmission from film is very different than a one-way mirror glass. The film is a compromise for those on a budget. The film will not let as much light through from the monitor as a purchased piece of mirror glass. In my case, the film lets in about 30% of the monitor’s display and the mirror glass lets 50% through.

The install script worked okay on Armbian 23.8.1 (Bookworm). PM2 install worked great. Screensaver disable didn’t work the first time but after a manual configuration to auto-boot into the user and then a couple of boots it seems to be doing well.

Update! Version 1.1.1 has been released.

V1.1.1

• Added an option to introduce a delay between the popups. During the delay period the map will fly back to the origin lat/lon and wait for the designated period.

@mitm - Looking at the Birdweather PUC page, it looks like it should be possible. The Birdweather website is able to sort the submissions by station, so I should be able to duplicate that and pull submissions for a given source. I’ll investigate after I get this popup panning thing resolved.

@lmhmm - The good news is that BirdNET appears to be back up. The better news is that if you do not include the dataUrl parameter, the default value should just make it work without issue. For example, here is my config that I am currently using for testing:

{
	module: "MMM-BirdNET",
	position: "bottom_left",
	config: {
		popInterval: 15 * 1000,
		popDelay: 2 * 1000,
		markerColor: 'IndianRed',
	}
},

I looked at the config snippet you posted and the immediate thing I noticed is that you do not appear to have a comma after the URL you specified for the dataUrl parameter. If that is the case, then all sorts of weird things could happen.

I suggest that you copy & paste the config.js snippet I included above into your config.js and work from there. The lat & lon parameters you included in your post look good. You should be able to include those without issue. You’re pretty close to having it work the way you want. We should be able to get you up & running with little hassle.

Hmm. It appears that the BirdNET website is down at the present time. There’s not much I can do about that. Which is weird, as it was definitely working yesterday and earlier today.

As soon as it comes up, I’ll troubleshoot the config that @lmhmm posted.

@lmhmm - My apologies for the delay in responding. I’ve been out of the country for the past couple of weeks. I’ll get to your issue this weekend.

@BerkSmash1984 Glad to hear it! Thank you for the thorough bug reporting.
