I figured it out. I had to enable all the following
1.) Maps Javascript API
2.) Directions API
3.) Geocoding API.
Marking as solved, thanks for all the help :-)

@buzzkc said in MMM-MyCommute not showing up.:
I believe it’s the Maps Javascript API>>Directions API
Hmm still getting a error where it should say commute time.
It says:
MMM-MyCommute: You must enable Billing on the Google Cloud Project at https://console.cloud.google.com/project/_/billing/enable Learn more at https://developers.google.com/maps/gmp-get-started
I already have that enabled tho.
I reverted the module source, I messed up bigtime on that. The modules show up in MM now, and that is so great! Thanks a lot!
It does give a me a error instead of commute time tho, I think thats a either a API or adress error.
Which API do I have to select from google? It gives me several choices.
So I added this to config.js in MagicMirror/config
{
module: “MMM-MyCommute”,
position: “top_left”,
header: “Traffic”,
classes: “default everyone”,
},
I recieved this error in developer console now

@buzzkc said in MMM-MyCommute not showing up.:
@Doogain Did you add the module into the MagicMirror/config/config.js?
That might be the issue, I didnt know I had to do that. Never installed a module before.
@sdetweil said in MMM-MyCommute not showing up.:
@Doogain that is NOT your ‘config’… that is the module source.
my general rule, you never edit the module source, unless u are doign something special, like extending its functionalityto install a module you do
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules git clone ???where ??? is the module github url
then when that completes, you add a
{ module: ??? , config: { } }, to the modules array in config/config.js the required data for the config entry will be found in the README.md file in the module folder just created by the git clone operation
I already did the first part, its the last part that I think I’ve screwed up on. I’ll give a go now, will post back soon.
I can’t get my MMM-MyCommute to show up.

Thats my config.
I’ve followed the instructions from https://github.com/jclarke0000/MMM-MyCommute and got a API key from the link provided.
I might’ve chosen the wrong kind of API key tho, I took the Distance Matrix API since it provides travel time and distance for multiple destinations.

MyCommute does not show up when I open developer console, select the console tab and seach for MyCommute.
@sdetweil said in Current weather module:
@Doogain looking back over your config, the locationID has a trailing space
"2624886 "
Wow, I had no idea that was there. I gotta get used to the idea that even just a space or a missing , can ruin the whole thing.
Worked like a charm, thanks man!
@sdetweil said in Current weather module:
if you open the developers window, ctrl-shift-i, select the console tab, add ‘current’ (no quotes) to the filter box
see any messages from the current weather module?
Yes, I see an error on the currentweather module.

I’m unsure on how to correct this error.
Hey fellas. I’ve had great help from here before, so I thought I’d give it another try.
My current weather module doesn’t show up, only the forecast.
I dont get any errors on start up in the terminal.
Config file is this:

How my MM looks currently. Current weather missing for some reason.

Hey there!
When I try to add this
fade: false
to my config.js
{
module: "weatherforecast",
position: "top_right",
header: "Weather Forecast",
config: {
location: "Aalborg",
locationID: "2624886",
appid: "a59083d2a1c9da6e99d2395fb61d8979"
}
},
So it becomes
{
module: "weatherforecast",
position: "top_right",
header: "Weather Forecast",
config: {
location: "Aalborg",
locationID: "2624886",
appid: "a59083d2a1c9da6e99d2395fb61d8979"
fade: false
}
},
Then MM says that my config is wrong.
WARNING! Could not validate config file. Starting with default configuration. Please correct syntax errors at or above this line: /home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js:73
fade: false

Not sure on how to fix this, since I believe I’m writing it correctly. Anyone with a quick fix?
I’m trying to remove the fade effect on the modules, aint working too great for me.
@sdetweil
You’re the man, worked like a charm. This solution needs to be more widely known!
Hi there.
I was hoping that someone here might be of assistance, since Im completely new to this and I tried to install the MagicMirror2 on my Raspberry Pi 3.
Its a SD card with a fresh installed Raspbian from this source https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/
Installed the desktop with recommened software version.
I ranthis in order to install MagicMirror2
bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/master/installers/raspberry.sh)”
This is the error Im getting.

Once again, Im new to this whole raspberry pi world, never used one before yesterday. If you can answer me in terms that even a baby would understand, Id really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
