Thank you Michael for all of the work you have put into this project over the years. I came across it courtesy of the MagPi article (which I’m sure is how many people first encountered the project). Since first reading about it, I’ve built more mirrors than I care to remember, both for personal use, and for friends/family as well.

As an aside, it also introduced me to Git, which has resulted in me finally learning to code (more than 3 decades after I skipped all those classes at University :)

Enjoy whatever your future holds, and thank you once again.

Just when I thought there were a standard set of colours, I find this…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recycling_bin

Looks like the most sensible thing is to simply ensure the recycling symbol is on the icon, and then give people the option of different colours.

@DeanoNoire Our colours are blue (glass), grey (cardboard), green (plastic) and black (trash/rubbish), but I suspect if you compare local areas, they’ll all have different colour schemes. I’ve even seen places where the bins were all the same, they just had different logos on them for the relevant product.

As you say, either paramatize them, or even just reference the icons by name/type, and let people change the image behind them to their colour of choice ?

This is exactly what it says it is, an issue with the power supply unit (PSU) to the Raspberry Pi. Either

1. It is not outputting enough power to the Pi OR
2. The Pi is drawing more power than expected and the PSU cannot provide the required Volts/Amps.

Depending on which version of the Pi, will determine how much power the Pi needs. Note: ALL Raspberry Pi’s should use a 5.1V PSU.

See this link for more info, and to tell you which PSU you require.

If nothing has changed with your Pi (or PSU), try swapping out the PSU for another one with the appropriate specification.

Hi, is there any way to add a option for a 4th icon ? We have 3 different types of recycling (glass, cardboard and plastic), as well as the usual rubbish/trash, and of course, they all come at different times ! :)

@tenpinmark Any chance you can post the code you used to fix it ? (or submit a fork to switch to instead)

@Glass92 I had similar problems (and only with this module). My solution was to create a cron job to reboot the mirror after midnight, which restarted the code. It’s not ideal, and actually introduces other issues with the HDMI port (will sometimes fail to initialise the display). I’ve since removed the cron job, and now just manually reboot if needed (usually once every couple of days)

Headers have been broken for a while now. Happened after MM version update. Not sure if @nwootton is still working on this or not though.

Also not been able to get multi-station working. The fix I used was just to have 2 modules listed one after each other (ie, duplicate the code in the config file, including API etc). That seems to work fine.

I seem to recall that the author no longer has a MagicMirror and so the module is not being updated. It broke for me at the last MM update, so it could very well be an issue with the base JS code.

There appears to be a bug in the OUI and IAB scripts for arp-scan. IEEE have changed the URL for both files (from the defaults listed)

They are now:

http://standards-oui.ieee.org/oui/oui.txt
http://standards-oui.ieee.org/iab/iab.txt

You can either edit the get-oui and get-iab perl scripts (which was my preference), or run the scripts with the above URL’s instead of the defaults.

Also, don’t forget to move the resulting TXT files to /usr/share/arp-scan (if you run the scan from anywhere other than that directory)

What is the error code for it ? If it’s 403, then check your login credentials.

Also what does “pm2 log” show from the command prompt ? That can give some indication of the issue.
