@Alvinger

Try this instead:

{from: '0 06 * * * ', to: '30 09 * * * ', dimLevel: ‘50’},
{from: '0 16 * * * ', to: '30 22 * * * ', dimLevel: ‘50’}

@nuckinfutz said in Complete noob here:

@cowboysdude I have a very deep and very broad background in I.T. Just not with Object Oriented Programming. I can generally muddle my way through things. It is very helpful though when documentation is clear and also when people offer assistance and leave the ego at the door. I’m happy to help if I can with the config.js file.

Well generally you’ll find most here are willing to help and with no ego… :)

We do have from time-to-time people looking for someone to do all the work for them and then insulting people here… You’re not one of them but they’ve been here.

These guys work very hard and offer this free and I appreciate it very much… so when people seem like they are not being very nice I take it as my job to well for lack of better words set them straight…

I’m not a programmer but I’m not a scammer either and I REALLY hate it when people come here and mistreat others… they’ve helped me so much and have been very patient and kind.

:) You’re welcome here and hey if you can lend a hand that’s much appreciated also!

Welcome Friend :)

@nuckinfutz OH no that’s okay. I know what you meant :) You’re not an insulting kind of person but I know how you feel too. I’m not a programmer myself so I understand when something isn’t clear…

I still have a problem with the config.js file… what goes in quotes, what doesn’t… I’m getting there though! :)

You’re okay… just stating your experience!

@strawberry-3.141 said in Problems with MMM-RandomPhoto:

@Woody you are in the wrong directory /home/pi/package.json

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RandomPhoto
npm install

Yeah not running npm install gets me into trouble at times!!! :)

Ahhhhhhhhhh yes that could do it… at first I thought perhaps the ‘classes’ where my issue but I think you’re correct! Thanks a bunch!

Even just running nothing but the MMM-Weather-Now and MMM-3Day-Forecast all I get is
Loading… on both…

git cloned it
switched to that dir and ran ‘npm install’
put the proper config in the mirror
ran it in DEV mode getting no errors and it’s loading

Nothing.

@daveyg_71 put these in the css directory - custom.css file…

I would never suggest changing ANY core css file because it could have well not good results then you’ll be trying to fix several problems.

That’s what the custom.css file is for ;)

Not sure if you know but modules are numbered like the example above:
module_8_newsfeed

There is another thread here that explains all that :)
Here’s one and it even has an example custom.css file attached:
check here!

@daveyg_71 when you do what strawberry suggested after you reboot redo the

arecord -l

Like he said you may have to do it a couple times but it should show you more than likely your mic is 1

Deleted it and started over and BAM working! Thank you all!

Interesting I’m using the same mic with no issues…

What are you running it on? RPI 3? I would do this:

Terminal window:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

That will install Pixel - the newest updated version… Then try to find your mic doing this in a terminal window:

arecord -l

See what that says… let me know!

Try to run it like this:

sudo ./dependencies.sh

Well did find out was using the wrong ‘key’… fixed that and entered the url in the web browser and it gives me the results but won’t load on the mirror. Running in DEV mode shows no errors either…

Thank you!

Thank you @travisbarket I’ll get around to trying it again soon LOL

Well yes that happens but it’s easy to do … I know myself that I may know something and so I assume you just know it too. It’s not done on purpose but I just sometimes don’t think :)

@nigel-daniels Yes I ran the npm install inside the directories and it went without issue.

Yes I’ll PM you my config

Thanks!

I would do this. Uninstall it, git clone it again and try running it again.

@d3r I updated my mini alarm clock mirror to pixel and everything is running great!

It boots REALLY fast!!!

Love this and the weather now but…

I have my config setup correctly it just says…

“Loading Weather Data…”
“Loading Forecast Data”

That’s as far as it ever goes…

OK well I’d see to your entire config … private msg me with your entire config.js file… so I can take a look at it.
