  • RE: Complete Setup tutorial: npm command not found / unable to install dependencies

    @KirAsh4
    I finally got it running. It turned out that the sync.- problem is well known since May 2016.

    –> https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=149221

    1. stopped the ntpd with :

    sudo systemctl stop ntp

    1. rather than running ntpdate, ran ntpdate-debian:

    sudo ntpdate-debian

    1. started ntpd

    sudo systemctl start ntp

    1. check

    sudo ntpq -p

    Now I´m happy!!

  • RE: Where to get (cheap) acrylic mirror from in Germany

    @yawns
    I have already contacted myspiegel a couple of weeks ago and they told me that their mirrors are not suitable for this project. According to them the glas materials is too dark. I think they received a lot of calls the last couple of months since this project was described on german television (“Galileo”).
    The only supplier I found in Stuttgart was Glass Flüss: http://fluess-glas.de/
    Guess I paid ~ 80€ for 50 x 50 cm. Hope that helps a bit.

  • RE: Where to get (cheap) acrylic mirror from in Germany

    A bright screen could be a solution. I must say that I did not test the mirrors of Myspiegel.de since I found a good solution in a local shop here in Stuttgart.

    I did not make the experience that it is difficult to get a mirror in Stuttgart. But the prices the local glazier would have charged me for a 50 x 50cm mirror were around 150€! I found out that most glazier here do have the same sub supplier, called a glas shop (Google: Search for Glasgroßhandel + city). So I organized the address of the sub supplier (for Stuttgart: http://fluess-glas.de/), gave them a call and asked them, whether it is o.k. if I purchase the mirror directly from them. It ended up that I payed 80 € for the mirror, and it works excellent!

    Steff: If worse comes to worst there is a glas shop 100km away from Munich in my home town in Ulm: http://www.glastroesch.de/glas/540-spionspiegel.html

  • RE: Where to get (cheap) acrylic mirror from in Germany

    A couple of weeks ago I found this link where several mirrors had been tested (German). The pros and cons are listet in detail and the test results seems to be comprehensible to me: https://glancr.de/development/test-spionspiegel-fuer-smart-mirrors/

    Maybe that helps if somebody is in doubt in the right mirror material.

  • RE: MMM-Swipe - Hand gestures

    I have just installed the MMM-Swipe module and wired up the sensors to the Raspberry for tests. Right now I still do not understand how this modul communicates with the other Magic Mirror modules. How do I have to config e.g. the calender module or the clock module to swipe left or right? Or does it just work with special modules?
    That´s the only information I found on Github:

    This module will use the sendNotification(notification, payload) to send:
    notification = ‘MOVEMENT’
    payload = ‘Swipe Left’, ‘Swipe Right’, or ‘Press’

    Please use as appropriate in your module using notificationReceived(notification, payload, sender)

    That´s the EMail I received from Myspiegel.de. I have also added a screenshot of the datasheet of their mirrors they have sent me. Hope that helps.

  • RE: Complete Setup tutorial: npm command not found / unable to install dependencies

    @cowboysdude

    Of course I did. I tried the automatic and manual install with a formated SD card several times.
    That´s the setup I´m using:
    Raspberry Pi: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01CEFWQFA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    SD- Card: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B013UDL5V6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=

    Keyboard: https://www.amazon.de/Logitech-Keyboard-QWERTZ-deutsches-Tastaturlayout/dp/B003PAMIA2/ref=sr_1_1?s=ce-de&ie=UTF8&qid=1474639200&sr=1-1 keywords=logitech+K120

    Power Source: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01DBYGV04/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    OS: 2016-05-27 raspbian jessie

    Right now MM runs fine with the above mentioned commands. The only problem that remains is that the system clock of the Raspberry still doesn´t synchronize with the Internet. After using “sudo date -s “20 SEP 2016 20:37:00”” the system clock remains on the 20th of September, 22:26h. Hope I can fix that this weekend. Any suggestions are highly appreciated. Thanks.

    I tried that several times and it didn´t work! My Raspberry is probably some sort of unique…

  • RE: Complete Setup tutorial: npm command not found / unable to install dependencies

    @Mr.Meeseeks said in Complete Setup tutorial: npm command not found / unable to install dependencies:

    Oh I know, check that your system date and time is correct.

    If there is internet connection available follow the steps to set the date:

    1. sudo raspi-config
    2. Internationalization options
    3. Change Time Zone
    4. Select geographical area
    5. Select city or region.
    6. Reboot your pi.

    Maybe:
    sudo date -s “19 SEP 2016 20:37:00”

    Excellent! For some reason I wasn´t able to set the correct time and date via raspi-config. Using sudo date -s “19 SEP 2016 20:37:00” solved the problem. After that I was able to run curl -L https://npmjs.org/install.sh | sudo sh. The install script curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh | bash went through just like a charm!
    Although I still do not understand the connection between the wrong set time and date and the installation I´m very happy to run MM now. Now I have to configure the modules.
    –> A WORLD OF THANKS TO YOU!!

    @Mr.Meeseeks said in Complete Setup tutorial: npm command not found / unable to install dependencies:

    I had same problem so I ran this:

    curl -L https://npmjs.org/install.sh | sudo sh

    Thanks a lot. But when I run this I get the message that the certificate is not yet valid and if I´d like to turn off the curl´s verification of the certificate I have to use the -k option. Any hints about that?
