So I got the MM up an running :)

back side:

Next steps:

1. MM configuration & understanding how it works
2. to shorten the wooden legs
3. to order + build a frame
4. put everything together :)

Dear all,

next issue: to reduce the empty space behind the LCD panel, I bought a 90 degrees DVI adapter. But I have noticed, my plug was DVI-D and I bought DVI-I.

Question: I don’t want to wait a week for a new one, can I remove few pins (esp. the 4 on the left) on my own? see picture below:

Thx for your help!
Regards
birdy

you mean like this:

Connecting socket for: MMM-Traffic
MMM-Traffic helper started ...
Sockets connected & modules started ...

Ready to go! Please point your browser to: http://localhost:8080
Whoops! There was an uncaught exception...

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues

somehow it’s not working:

so, as a complete noobie, I just pasted the code (adding Google Api key) in both files.

I can see, there is a gap in the corner (I hope for the map) and if I get you correctly, the map will load “soon”(?).

Thank you one more time and will keep u posted.

Cheers
Birdy

@Mirrorolentia - wow, thx!! I will test it later :) can’t await

Hi all,

I was looking in the forum and internet, but couldn’t find a solution. Did anyone on you managed to show the google maps route (from A to B) and trafic?

Like this (example from this forum):
.

I (hope i did) intalled the module MMM-googlemaps. Sometimes I read I need an iFrame, sometimes: it won’t work with an iFrame.
My code:

//		{
		   module: "MMM-googlemaps",
		   position: 'bottom_right',
		   config: {
		       apikey: '*my API*',
			origin: 'Köln,+Deutschland',
			destination: 'Essen,+Deutschland',
			mode: driving,
		   }
		},

Thx for your support!
Birdy

Hi,

so this module is showing only warnings. Can it show also the weather from DWD?

Cheers
birdy

I got yesterday an answer:

Hallo birdy

Danke für deine nette Email und das Interesse. Eine public API gibt es von Bring! nicht, aber ich leite deinen Vorschlag gerne mal weiter! 

Beste Grüsse
Lucia 

Maybe if more people will send a request, they will finally do it :)

So I got the MM up an running :)

Next steps:

1. MM configuration & understanding how it works
2. to shorten the wooden legs
3. to order + build a frame
4. put everything together :)
