I totally agree with the “coffee is life” :D

Looks good. Keep us up on date please ;)

a last hint, which is more software suggest:

https://github.com/gilyes/pi-shutdown

order one push button more (if u tough about before), so this is nice to shutdown and boot up your Pi safely :)

thats not how to update MM ;)

try this:

cd ~/MagicMirror && git pull

Keep in mind, that updating COULD result in issues with 3rd party modules, cause not all are up to date and some changes were made in MagicMirror. But in most cases it should be ok.

Well, for me the easiest way was to just use a FTP-Client and save my config file, my css file, my modules folders, and some external stuff.

After a fresh install of raspian and MM (takes about 30-45 minutes) i just paste the saved files into the right directions and BOOOM! Everything was fine ^^

I did it that way, cause i was a little bit to scared to try it with resizing or something like that.
But, since Raspbian adds the SD Card Copier u could give that a try.

(scroll down a little bit)

or try this or this

Could u send the full log file in a code box here?

cat /home/pi/.npm/_logs/2018-01-02T17_31_20_367Z-debug.log

@paddyhughes

did u try it manually yet?

Remove your actual MagicMirror folder and try it like described in the link

@schwoediauer

like this? :

https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/2113/mmm-memo-add-some-memos-on-your-page-and-manage-them-through-http-request

To manage that with your phone or pc it would be maybe better to use external services like google:

@The-Bean said in Powering my mirror?:

I’m actually not sure what to check for watt consumption. I’m only seeing volt and amp.

W = V * A (Watt = Volts * Ampere)

@bhepler said in Prepping my first build. Care to check my work?:

• Give a thought to power. Are you routing the power through the wall? Through a hole in your internal framework? Consider that at the moment, you have to power the Pi and the monitor, so that’s two cords.

That is a good keyword. If u just want one cord u can think about using a step-down converter.
Don’t know what Voltage your monitor will be using. In my case my monitor needs 12V and the RPi 5V as normal.

So i choosed a big 12V power supply (5A or 60W) to power both.

Then i ordered a DC-DC Step Down converter: https://www.amazon.com/DROK-Converter-Step-down-Regulator-Stabilizer/dp/B019RKVMKU/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1516968110&sr=8-5&keywords=lm2596&th=1

connect the 12V output of the power supply to the converter input and parallel to your monitor.
adjust the converter output to 5 - 5.1V and connect it with your Pi :)

You can see an example here: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/6048/my-first-mirror-until-now/12

I am glad u found out what causes your problem :D

Yeah, the RPi is very limited in processor power. That is the reason, why some users went over to old laptops or small x86 solutions :)
