@BKeyport I added what I think is a public link to that album…

Here it is again

Having just gotten my first MM-thatsnotamirror set up I’d like to dive in a little deeper.

Waaaay back in June I took a HTML-CSS-JS course on Coursera (the John Hopkins one) and learned quite a bit. But now I’d like to really get in deep and there are so many options - buy a book, Mozilla Developer, W3Schools, Coursera, Udemy…

So I’m asking the community for suggestions - understanding that we all learn in different ways - on what courses are worthwhile looking at…

Re: My first attempt…

Google Photo Album of most of the construction process

New link to photo album that I hope works

plus the following modules not listed above…

MMM-BackgroundSlideshow,
MMM-pages,
MMM-Page-Indicator,
worldclock
MMM-AVStocks

plus a birthday calendar workout using an export/import I read about here on the forum (and now I can’t find the post to give the proper forum member credit)

Great module. It’s running fantastically on my PI4.

I did a search on google and ifixit to see if I could get some guidance on getting the case off of my monitor and ran across this: Monitor Disassembly (http://h22235.www2.hp.com/hpinfo/globalcitizenship/environment/productdata/disassemblymonitors.html) for my HP monitor.

Other manufacturers may have a similar resource…

The link to this came across my Twitter feed:
All 21TB of GitHub Code in Arctic Storage (https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/github-open-source-code-cold-storage-arctic-code-vault?utm_content=link_ad&utm_term=organic&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social)

@sdetweil You’re a freaking genius. Thanks. It’s always something ‘silly’ like that… earlier I had a misplaced “{”

yes… I had it uncommented and then the crash…

Grrrr… still no luck…

Here’s the snippet from my config.js:

			module: "newsfeed",
			position: "bottom_bar",
			config: {
				feeds: [
					{
						title: "New York Times",
						url: "https://rss.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml"
					},
					{
						title: "CNN",
						url: "http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss"
					},
//					{
//						title: "NPR"
//						url: "https://feeds.npr.org/1001/rss.xml"
//					},
//					{
//						title: "Houston Chronicle"
//						url: "https://www.chron.com/rss/feed/Houston-and-Texas-272.php"
//					},
				],
				showSourceTitle: true,
				showPublishDate: true,
				broadcastNewsFeeds: true,
				broadcastNewsUpdates: true
			}
		},

I had found this one - http://www.npr.org/rss/rss.php?id=1001 - but it crashes the config file.

Any feed that ends in .php does the same.

It may be that I just don’t understand how these things work and need to learn and read more.

Has anyone found a news feed for NPR?

Very nice mirror. I really like the framing as well as your content choices.

I’m working on copying some of what you did… I successfully installed the before-current-next month calendars. I figured out how to copy what you did with the ‘extra’ days on the beginning and end of each month. What I can’t seem to get going is how to have only the current month’s current day highlighted.

Pointer? Please.

picture-maybe

I’ve got a golf calendar tacked to the wall in my ‘man cave’ thing. Invariably I won’t be paying attention and sometimes it would get a couple of months behind.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have an electronic perpetual calendar… Enter Google… besides a couple of commercially available models I stumbled onto the ‘original’ MagicMirror website.

So after a couple of years of dragging my feet and now that I’m under virtual house arrest… (ha) I decided to take the plunge…

Equipment: A CanaKit Raspberry PI4, an HP VH240a monitor, and various cables…
Modules: alert, clock, calendar, currentweather, weatherforecast, calendar_monthly, newsfeed
