    • 7" and 5" displays

      I’ve been working on these for a few weeks now. The 7 inch screen is for my Pi server, and the 5inch screen is my bedside clock.

      Both screens have brightness controls, and module hiding. The seven inch screen has both a manual screen button for reducing the brightness from 180 to 20, which can override the auto dulling and brightening.

      Seven Inch (screen grabs - Full and Night mode)

      Seven inch in night dull mode( Not as bright as the image in real life. At night, its just bright enough to see the time but not bright enough to light the room. Dimming is the same on both screens)

      @gr1dl0ck that is the 5inch screen using MMM-weatherforecast https://github.com/jharttech/MMM-weatherforecast/blob/master/README.md

      which comes with deviant art icons. I reduced the size of the icins to fit the area i had, and saved them in the CSS file as instructed but used different names. then change the MMM-weatherforcast.css file to point to the icos i wanted shown rather than the default selection. Theres quite a few icons to select from in the icon folder of the git file. I just chose the ones i liked the best based on the fortecast

    • RE: 7" and 5" displays

      @carltonb the 7inch screen is the raspberry pi unit https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-touch-display/

      and the 5 inch is from DFRobot, https://www.dfrobot.com/product-1784.html

      i chose both these as they use a flat ribbon cable to hook up instead of HDMI or the GPIO pins

    • RE: 7" and 5" displays

      @saabman I did some testing and found a brightness that didnt light up the room but still enabled the display to be seem

      The Sun and Moon icons on the left have commands attached to them

      | command: “echo 20 | sudo tee /sys/class/backlight/rpi_backlight/brightness”, |

      I just changed the “echo xxx” number to a value that works for me. I’m using Raspberry screens.

    • Stop mm from a touch button

      I run MM on a 7inch touch screen on my ROI Server. There is no keyboard or mouse attached. It runs stats and displys data from my weather SQL database etc but I would like to stop MM with a touch button. I have looked at all the Touch Button modules and they only Shutdown or Reboot. None actually only stop MM. I tried modifying one of these using ‘npm stop’ but to no avail. (I start it with npm start).

      I dont always have a computer running that I can remote into it and do Ctrl Q to stop it. A touch button would be handy but Im stumped.

      Thanks

    • RE: MMM-NOAA

      My question is a little different. After trying so many weather modules and looking for one that works accurately he in West Aus, NOAA was the firrst to actually work with some accuracy. Most of the others the API’s are now defunct. I use my MagicMirror on a 7inch Raspberry screen manly as an information screen of the weather and some server stats. At the moment I am trying to get this moduel to fit on the screen as the screen resolution is fixed.

      My question is which file holds the code for the section headings. I figure if I take them out and just have the date and icons, the module will fit perfectly on the small screen, then I can desing the other modules to fit in the space left.
