Before I am going to try to use these modules can someone please tell me whether they can be used with the Google AIY Voice Kit (v1) or not? :grimacing_face:

@Mykle1 thanks for clearing things out.

I also wanted to add that if you place the newsfeeds in the config, it also works better to place them in the js file as well. Not sure why, but I noticed that it does.
So, wanted to pass that on.

I am still working on getting a custom logo to show if one does not get pulled from the rss site.

Take your time don’t worry. ;)

In the meantime I am going to try too to put everything into the NewsFeeds js and see how things work.

Update
I saw no improvements by inserting the feeds straight into the JS. :disappointed_face:

@cr4z33

I have the model here with me. Personally, I find it too yellow / golden and a monitor seems too much through, so you can see the montior behind the glass.



Thanks for your kind feedback, but unfortunately it looks like the images upload didn’t end well? :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

What about Saint Gobain glasses?
That’s the other brand the local company was having available.

@goldjunge_chriz I have, but so far the only product I could find right now is the Pilkington MirrorView (the normal one so not the ‘50/50’ one), therefore I’ve to be 100% sure it is suitable (especially considering the big size…). :grimacing_face:

@goldjunge_chriz said in Brand new two way community order for all european countries - Open until 18 november 2018:

Yes, sorry… The shipping to the mentioned foreign countries is unfortunately priceless at this size…

Ach schade… :loudly_crying_face:

May I ask you please what material specs does this glass have so that I might try to look for a similar product locally? :crossed_fingers_medium-light_skin_tone:

@goldjunge_chriz said in Brand new two way community order for all european countries - Open until 18 november 2018:

Please read the first post again. your mirror is unfortunately too big for shipping to Portugal, I’m sorry…

What if I needed a 150x70 cm glass shipped to Italy then?
Same problem? :disappointed_but_relieved_face:

it normal that it uses almost 50% of the CPU load?

It sure is. The Pi struggles with that type of animation. I’m surprised it’s only 50%. You should monitor your CPU temp, as well.

So it’s not a matter of not so fast SD card then right?

I am using a heatsink on it therefore the average temperature so far is between 50° Celsius and 60° Celsius.

@cr4z33

what news site is it?

It’s

http://feeds.feedburner.com/SkyitTg24

and I would like to load

https://tg24.sky.it/static/images/lv/skytg24_logo_header.png

as default icon (also because I notice that ALL the news feeds I set don’t show the icon in the scrolling bar).

Last but not least is it normal that it uses almost 50% of the CPU load? :frowning_face_with_open_mouth:
I’ve got a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ and a Samsung EVO Plus 32GB micro SD card.

@justjim1220 can you please help me setting a custom logo into

defaultLogo : ""

?

I’ve tried so far with several image formats and I’ve used both HTTP and HTTPS, but it still doesn’t load the logo… :thinking_face:
