I don’t have any processor intensive modules installed, but I do have ones that seem to use memory like no tomorrow. I have a dual monitor installation (write up and pics to follow within the next few weeks), and both have over 800Mb used
MM1
MM2
Is that normal, as when I started out using the mirrors I don’t recall either using that kind of memory ?
Ho hum, I got bored, so…
@zzaidi148 here you go, below is your working code.
As was said above, you needed to remove the // from var config, and the extra config section at the end. I also tidied up the code (putting spaces between modules to make them easier to read), and added some extra commas (because I tend to anyway) . You just need to replace the API keys with the correct ones and the code below will work.
var config = {
address: "localhost", // Address to listen on, can be:
// - "localhost", "127.0.0.1", "::1" to listen on loopback interface
// - another specific IPv4/6 to listen on a specific interface
// - "", "0.0.0.0", "::" to listen on any interface
// Default, when address config is left out, is "localhost"
port: 8080,
ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1"], // Set [] to allow all IP addresses
// or add a specific IPv4 of 192.168.1.5 :
// ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.1.5"],
// or IPv4 range of 192.168.3.0 --> 192.168.3.15 use CIDR format :
// ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.3.0/28"],

@hmoed No problem, glad you got it working.
remove the second instance of
var config = (
module : [
]
}
at the bottom of the file
If you’re customising look/feel, then edit custom.css, as that won’t be overwritten by a “git pull”. Also, for some modules you can add config or customisations outside of the modules directory, which will preserve the settings on a pull.
Any changes you make to a modules actual code will get overwritten by an upgrade. You could avoid that if you create your own fork of a module (as some developers here have done).
If upgrading MM itself, then you should always backup your config.js
Have you tested the PIR independently of the mirror ? (ie, does it work the way you want it to ?). This is a good guide to setting them up and testing they work.

I had issues with the same MM module, and chose to use this solution instead, which works perfectly and has the added advantage of working regardless of whether MM is running.
@j.e.f.f Thanks Jeff, problem solved, and everything now works. Typical that Google allows you to use the API without a valid key, and doesn’t error out to say it’s not a valid entry :(
Oh for the good old days of 2 word *nix error messages that required a manual the size of war and peace to troubleshoot…but at least you knew there was an error ! :)
I’m guessing no-one has any other ideas ? I wondered if there was a conflict with any other modules, so I’ve done a full rebuild of the RPi, stripped the config to just this module, and it still doesn’t work properly.
Ho hum
@strawberry-3-141 I saw that, and fixed it (just not in my post)
@yawns I cut and pasted your code (adjusted the API key and the postal codes), and still get the same error (as per previous screenshot)
This is what I get using the code above.
@strawberry-3-141 Where are there quotes missing ? I could only see a couple (which I’ve corrected in my first post). I edited the code to remove identifying info, so it should be ok now. Normally when there is a code error due to syntax (such as quotes), MM won’t even run.
In this instance, I simply get a line error for the specific mode of transport.
Brief bit of background.
I have 2 offices that I go to. One is about a mile from where I live and I have 4 ways to get to there (walking, tram, train or bus). The other is about 30 miles away with a couple of alternative driving routes. Depending on which office I’m going to (and whether I want to walk or take public transport), I want the module to show me what is likely to be the best option to get to each of the specific offices.
This is where I have 2 problems I’m trying to resolve and could do with some help.
For driving, I never have anything but a “green” commuting time (ie, it never goes yellow or red for delays, even when adjusted to 1% and 5% delay thresholds)
For the closer office I can’t get the alternative transit modes to work (ie, train, tram, bus etc). If I specify anything within the transitMode option, I get Error displayed in the module. If I just use transit (with no transitmode) it works fine, although I can’t then pick which mode of transit to use.
My code is below (API is edited out, as are home & work postal codes - the rest is cut and paste)
{
module: 'MMM-MyCommute',
header: "Work Commute",
position: 'bottom_right',
config: {
api_key: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',

},

},
{
destination: 'Work 2 Postal Code',

transitMode: 'train',
showNextVehicleDeparture: true,
color: '#ffff00', //Yellow
alternatives: false,
},
{
destination: 'Work 2 Postal Code,
label: 'Office 2 - Tram',
mode: 'transit',
transitMode: 'tram',
showNextVehicleDeparture: true,
color: '#ffff00', //Yellow
alternatives: false,
},
{
destination: 'Work 2 Postal Code,
label: 'Office 2 - Bus',
mode: 'transit',
transitMode: 'bus',
showNextVehicleDeparture: true,
color: '#ffff00', //Yellow
alternatives: false,
},
]
},
},
I’ve tried all sorts of editing, using both single and double quotes, and am using Geany to check the syntax (which I believe is correct)
Any ideas ?
Have you tried an anti-glare filter like you’d see on PC’s in offices? 3M do a range of filters that might help.
