@fantonim , I’m very new to all of this, but couldn’t you just put multiple feeds into the config.js? Thats what I did with the MMM-Traffic Module (with different information for each one) and it displays two separate traffic modules. I also did this with the news module and have two news modules going at once. I don’t know if there’s any limitation to how many you could do, but it would be worth a shot.

@RedNax First, I love the module. You did a great job. I am very new to coding and still working on building my Magic Mirror. Right now I am just making customizations to the modules. I was wondering if it would be possible to get rid of the precipitation amount? The combination of precipitation percentage and precipitation amount seems a little cluttered. Maybe this only applies to me since I live in Southern California and we rarely get rain. The second thing I was wondering is if it would be possible to either: a) Have a combination of Horizontal (hourly forecast) and Vertical (daily forecast) or b) Have some sort of delineation between hourly and daily forecast? If these are possible and you could point me in the right direction that would be great. I have very limited coding experience, but I would be happy to try. Again, thank you for the module.

@KirAsh4 Hi, I’m wondering if what you mentioned above has happened. When I add the module to my config, and restart the mm, the screen goes black (all the modules disappear). Once I remove the module from my config, all of the other modules work how they’re supposed to again. Also, I am new to the forum (and coding as well) so if this is the wrong place to post this question please let me know and I will change it.

Hi everybody,

I’m Brandon (24) from Los Angeles, California. My experience and knowledge with coding — and raspberry pi in general — is very similar to that of @mikmonken above. I can follow instructions fairly well, but I know nothing about coding. I am very eager to learn coding, but have very little time to devote to it due to work, school, and a wife who likes to monopolize my time. ;D I’m amazed with the work that you all have done with the Magic Mirror project and I hope I can help contribute to it someday.

My first rpi project I undertook was the retropie. I easily figured out the software side of that, but then again all I had to do was follow simple instructions. I still haven’t started the hardware portion — I’m saving that for a later project when I can devote more time to it.

The second rpi project I undertook was installing an ambilight kit behind my wall mounted TV through Lightberry. This was slightly more difficult, but still only required me to follow instructions (I love the effect the abmilight gives while watching TV by the way).

I have now started the software portion of the Magic Mirror. I have a tendency to bite off more than I can chew with different projects, especially considering my lack of even basic knowledge when it comes to coding. However, I have really enjoyed the project thus far and I am learning a ton through this project. I currently have the Magic Mirror running fairly smoothly through my desktop monitor. After I finish adding all the cool modules you guys have created, I’ll start to build the actual mirror itself. The end goal is for this to be a Christmas present for my wife. Who knows, I might make a couple more for the rest of my family too. Thank you to all of you who have contributed to this project. I look forward to learning from all of you.
