@tbbear said in I need help!!!!:

@danwitz65 ok, lets fix it step by step:

1. Rotate the screen (works for all normal displays, not for pi special and touchscreens)

Open a terminal and login to your pi

sudo nano /boot/config.txt
move all the way down to the end of the file
add the line: display_rotate=3
Press ctrl + o to save and ctrl + x to exit the file

Now do a reboot and you should have a screen tilted by the number of your desire:

0 = 0 degrees (the default value)
1 = 90 degrees
2 = 180 degrees
3 = 270 degrees

That’s it! Quick and easy.

Oh hell thats gotta be my problem there i didnt realize save was ctrl+o i was kust doing x i think. Ill report back once i try it thanks a ton!

I did use pm2 but even with pm2 it dont work right itll start up show magic mirrors loading screen then go to raspbian desktop where i have to enter pmstart mm.sh or whatever and then itll load just fine thats also been a struggle that was never resolved that i have coped with tho however

Here the link where ive seen it

If you scroll down you see the codes but i have nonidea how to command them in terminal. Can you walk me through that

Its all plugged in to an fancy three way extension cord so when i plug in the “mirrors” cord it powers the tv and pi.

But the pi starts to run right away while the tv i have to push the button ive seen people that delay them and ive seen the code but i dont know how to get to where to put it or what commands to run.

I want to delay start up. Because as it sits right now the tv doesnt turn on as fast so the pi boots before i can turn the tv on and i get no picture so id like to make the pi delay 5-10 seconds. So i have time to turn the tv on

Can some give a step by step with the commands you have to enter in terminal to get to the files to edit and everything. Im not fond of code and am basically asking for a step by step dumby guide. Thank you!!!

So wait how do you have the sensor powered and hooked up to the moniter?

Well thanks a ton for the help im not gonna reinstall the whole thing that would be crazy ill just have to deal with it i guess…

Yes it does

Just did it as well to be sure

Yeah it doesnt confirm back with anything just opens a line for another command.

Also just tryed rebooting and waiting its been 7 mins now and magic mirror hasnt popped up

Idk it never has launched after a reboot ive had to do it manually in terminal everything’s me so far

Also when you type

chmod +x mm.sh

From that guide is terminal supposed to do something?
