console.log(json.compliments.morning[0])

I’m not programmer either but doesn’t this line just call the first object in the json file?

function readTextFile(file, callback) {
var rawFile = new XMLHttpRequest();
rawFile.overrideMimeType(“application/json”);
rawFile.open(“GET”, file, true);
rawFile.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (rawFile.readyState === 4 && rawFile.status == “200”) {
callback(rawFile.responseText);
}
}
rawFile.send(null);
}

//usage:
readTextFile(“/Users/Documents/workspace/test.json”, function(text){
var data = JSON.parse(text);
console.log(data);
});

VERY nice!! See just not for mirrors anymore :) That’s why I built my mini alarm clock using MM2 :)

@nuckinfutz said in trouble with config file:

If you still haven’t gotten anywhere I’ll zip up and send you my entire directory structure and a step by step instruction sheet I wrote for myself to get the basic mirror up and running. You can compare them to yours and see where we differ. That should give you some insight.

that would be awesome. i still havent gotten anywhere. i reinstalled node.js along with reinstalling magic mirror and so on. the only thing i havent tried reinstalling is raspbain. but i still get the same startup script failed electron.js

My suggestion would be this…

Format your card using this [please read the entire thing]->
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/236/complete-setup-tutorial/3

and reinstall raspbian… This one -> RASPBIAN JESSIE WITH PIXEL from: https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/

From there open a terminal window and run:
[Download and install the latest Node.js version]

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

After that is done then:

git clone https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror.git

go to the MagicMirror folder and run:
npm install

Once that’s completed run:
npm start

IF you get any errors post a screen shot as that helps VERY much :)

@cowboysdude enjoy… you won’t have missed the ‘chance of rain’ icon there :)

Why Thank you sir :)

@JoeSpencer Yes I did that with a weather module and that fixed that also… sometimes those things just happen :)

@strawberry-3.141 could have I guess but at the time I was onto others things…

So when I get home I’ll do that! Enjoying the sun here: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Galveston,+TX/@29.2187539,-95.2067404,10z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x863f59c8c4059259:0xe58b03c9b9eaecc1!8m2!3d29.3013479!4d-94.7976958

@nigel-daniels as soon as I get back home… am on vacation [holiday] in Galveston, Texas :) Nice and sunny and very warm here! …

@JoeSpencer said in MMM-Todoist - Your todoist tasks on your mirror:

Same issue, any progress?

None for me… I gave up on it and moved on… never got an answer to the issues I had. NO big deal… People get busy… I don’t get upset I just find a different way :)

@yawns

There already is a RemoteControl module ( https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/735/mmm-remote-control ) which is accessible by any browser. As such the remote control is platform independant.

Yes but this is for IOS 10 which for those of us who have iphones would be super awesome :) The ONLY module we can’t use is the phone notification… because Apple is impossible … :(

Yes adding bluetooth would be awesome!!! I have a bluetooth speaker that I tried to connect but couldn’t…

Thank you for sharing!!! It’s really awesome! Great job!

@strawberry-3.141 said in MMM-voice:

@daveyg_71 there is an error log in the mmm-voice directory can you post it? and do you get any errors in the terminal or electron console?

What please do what @strawberry-3-141 said :) Look in the directory for an error log… or when you start your mirror run it in dev mode: npm start dev

Welcome @JediJah

Another module that should be in the core :) Man this mirror is growing Thanks to great people!

Thanks @Jopyth

Interesting… was trying to install it on my windows computer to test some modules and was getting the same error… no idea…

OH I agree!! Sounds like you are on the same road I am… @strawberry-3-141 helped me today… there is a module but I wanted it to do something a little bit different so I tried my hand at tweaking it… I was close but he showed me the error and it works now! HUGE Thanks @strawberry-3-141 by the way!!

I don’t know if you realize this and some don’t … some of the people building stuff and helping us all out don’t even have mirrors!!! THAT is utterly and mind blowing amazing!!!

The 32" will be a while :) Yes honestly I was really thinking laptop motherboard… quieter can get smaller power supplies to run them :) OR a mini ITX you can use laptop power supplies on some of them too!

So in a nutshell I’m waiting on an open source thermostat that runs the heating/cooling and is wifi AND bluetooth… then I’ll get to building the actual mirror itself… [MY parents have a 40" TV they don’t want or need soooooooooo LOL]…

Welcome and I’m glad you’re here… learning is awesome and it can be fun!

Thanks to @MichMich , @ianperrin , @strawberry-3-141 and all the other developers!!! Too many to mention!

That is awesome!! You just keep making this better and better!!! Thank you!

I LOVE Evan’s mirror… the voice stuff is quick but you are limited to 50 calls per day…

PLUS there is NO way to make 3rd party modules for it… you come here and you can request things to have your mirror do and someone builds it… why? Because they want to :)

Evan has no plans for 3rd party modules which means whatever is there you have and that’s it.

I played with his and still have an SD card with a running mirror on it but I kept coming back to this one because of the possibilities… people develop amazing things all the time…

Since being here people have helped me greatly!! NFL module, Scheduler module…the list goes on and on NOT to mention a small Alarm clock mirror… that people basically build software to help with that such as a Touch alarm…

Evan is an awesome guy but like I said it’s limited… I needed/wanted it to do more… to fit me.

Because of this place and with a TON of help my next plan is a 32" livingroom mirror that can run my house… it’s being worked on… new territory takes time :)

@strawberry-3-141 has built a voice module that already controls several modules here… @paviro has built facial recognition for this mirror that works well … speech recognition is a tall order but I believe sooner or later it’ll get done…

Gotta remember a Raspberry pi can only handle so much… that’s why my 32" will be run on a full size motherboard [laptop or micro board, not sure yet]…

These are ALL great people doing great things to help many to fit their mirrors to their needs… it’s pretty amazing.
