Here is my MagicMirror, not a mirror but a display. The hardware is:

• Raspberry Pi 3 Model A Plus Rev 1.0
• WEme USB 3.0 to SATA Converter Adapter for 2.5 3.5 Inch Hard Drive Disk SSD
• 128GB 2.5 Inch SSD
• ACER 21.5 Inch Monitor 1920x1080
• RPios Bullseye

The software is:

• MagicMirror V 2.26.0 with the following modules:
• Clock - Standard date and time display.
• Calendar - Combines multiple Apple and Google calendar into a single display.
• Weather - Local current and forecast weather.
• MMM-Fuel - Local Gasbuddy fuel prices displayed for lowest price offerings at stations in town.
• Newsfeed - Standard Newsfeed display with headlines displayed at screen bottom.

(Not the best possible image but you get the idea)

It is the combined calendar display that get the most attention and was the most challenging to configure.

I had some problems getting RPios software to operate in portrait orientation. Actually, I never was successful to get portrait mode until the Xwindows system started and was instructed to use portrait mode.

One thing I had to do was increase the RPios swap space from the default 100MB to 2GB. Otherwise the system would get stuck in page thrashing as it got busy and swap space filled up.

Thanks to @sdetweil for his assistance solving some issues.

Sam,

I built a new SDcard for Raspios and installed MM using your scripts. Started MM and the problem did not occur.

Next, I rebuilt the SSD with Raspios and installed MM. Started MM and the problem did not occur at startup and I waited while tailing the logs but nothing happened.

Next, I move my MM configuration changes, modules, and updates to the SSD. The problem did not occur at startup or after tailing the logs for a time.

I am declaring a victory for me. But we all know, in the end, that the computer demons won.

The Api has changed and the old apikey no longer works. The old api, V2.5, provided data for free and the new api, V3.0, will charge for daily data access requests that exceed 1,000. The new api requires a credit card to bill for all requests exceeding 1,000 per day.

In addition to establishing a credit card on my account and generating a V3.0 key, I installed the MMM-OpenWeatherForecast module using these instructions:

• Navigate into the MagicMirror modules directory.

• Execute git clone https://github.com/Tom-Hirschberger/MMM-OpenWeatherForecast

• Enter the new MMM-OpenWeatherForecast directory and execute npm install

The configuration instructions and other information is located in:

• Read the instructions in the README.md file.
