@Fix-Not-Found I did not. But after formating and reinstalling it worked just fine. No idea what the problem was!

@Oliver_Tooth

Hmm check if you have installed xscreensaver, otherwise reinstall it.

And also check if you placed the script in the right autostart folder! I sometimes pick the old one.

Write xscreensaver-command -activate in command line. If it doesn’t active the problem is with xscreensaver!

@fiskaren custom.css

body {
  margin: 0px;
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
}

@broberg said in Layout problem:

Do what strawberry wrote, it will give you more space on the screen.

also

This should change the size of the fonts in the top two modules only

.currentweather {
font-size: 50%;
}

.clock {
font-size: 50%;
}

Awesome. Thank you both. It looks perfect now! :D

Wow, I actually managed to do this myself. Probably in the worst way ever, and everyone who knows coding will cringe. But at least I’m happy.

I took the code from a PIR-guide (this one: https://diyhacking.com/raspberry-pi-gpio-control/). Basically just to show how it works. And then I googled as hell for other commands. And finally mashed them togheter to this AWESOME python script.

//import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
GPIO.setwarnings(False)
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)
GPIO.setup(11, GPIO.IN)         #Read output from PIR motion sensor
GPIO.setup(3, GPIO.OUT)         #LED output pin
while True:
       i=GPIO.input(11)
       if i==0:                 #When output from motion sensor is LOW
             print "No intruders",i
             GPIO.output(3, 0)  #Turn OFF LED
             time.sleep(0.1)
       elif i==1:               #When output from motion sensor is HIGH
             import os
	os.system("xscreensaver-command -deactivate"),i
             GPIO.output(3, 1)  #Turn ON LED
             time.sleep(0.1)

And I put this in autostart. So I guess it checks the GPIO every 0.1 second. And I made the true to deactivate xscreensaver. I didn’t even remove the other code so I guess my command line are getting spammed by “No intruders” all the time hahaha.

This is really the first time coding something. Otherwise I have just followed step-by-step guides when RPIng. So this is a big step for me.

Anyway, if someone has a better way for this then I am happy to hear!

@broberg Well I am not really happy with the results right now. I have changed the size pretty much, but they still merge into eachother. And I realize I have to change the size even more if I dont want them to do that. And since that changes the font on every module it will look crazy and also unreadable.

Here is a picture of how it looks right now:

Is it possible to force the modules some pixels out? Because if so I could put them closer to the edges and that would probably solve the problem.

The last solution could be to remove wind-speed. But it’s windy where I live and I would very much like to know the wind speed!

Soo… this will be my third troubleshooting thread. Thankful for all the help I’ve got.

Anyway, the problem now is with PIR-sensor. I simply want the screen to be blacked out when I’m not there and wake when motion is detected. There is a module for this, but from what I understand that module is only made for HDMI monitors. I use the 7" official touchscreen which connects through the DSI-cionnector on the Pi. So I am wondering how to solve this matter? It does not have to be a module or something, I am happy for every solution.

I have tried google it and there are some solutions. But there are either the problem they assume you know what you do, I don’t. Kinda need a step-by-step guide. Or the solution are made for HDMI.

And I don’t have to shut down the screen, I understand that is not possible with DSI-screens. I just want it to become black/dark!

Best regards

Edit: I would be happy if it was possible to just make the PIR send a mouseklick or keystroke as that would solve my problem as well.

@broberg Awesome, will try that soon after my trip to the store for a PIR-sensor.

The clock is at top_bar and right now the weather is at top_left. When both are placed at top_barthe clock are one row over the weather. Will that auto-adjust when changing the font?

Hi,

Finally got MM to work. I use it on the official 7" Raspberry Pi Touchscreen. But I do have problems getting a nice layout. What I want is to have the time and current weather side-by-side. I have searched but did not find a new module containing both. Right now it looks like this:

Total mess lol. But if I manage to get them side-by-side it will look OK. How do I do this? I am kind of noobish so please overexplain!

Best regards
Fiskaren

@mortenbirkelund Actually I have. Still doesn’t work. The only way I made it finally work was to add “@pm2 start mm.sh” in "/home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart "

I guess that is a OK solution?

And I have of couse done the autostart part of the installation. Here is the code for that, if that could be intresting:
