@mymirror Funny story. Last Thursday I found the same issue in the production code of a project I am working on in my real live job, which lead to an really wired issue.

That was the biggest facepalm ever:weary_face:

And the ultra sonic sensor is clicking itself. The sensor is just a speaker and an microphone. The speaker is clicking constantly and the microphone is picking up the clicking. I am pretty jung, it would drive me crazy if I have to sleep, or stay here the sensor for a long time. But with increasing age humans won’t hear it anymore. But I think animals like cats, dogs, birds, … do hear it better.

The more you know :sign_of_the_horns:

@cruunnerr @Mykle1 You both are right.

@cruunnerr is executing the Shell script, which must be executed in the same directory as the script is located in, except you define the path in the pm2 command like this pm2 start /path/to/script.sh (also given, the script used absolute paths, or can handle the “remote” execution)

@Mykle1 You are executing the pm2 “deamon”, which can be executed everywhere

@mymirror What is your log saying? I am not that fluent in Python, but in the last elif you assign Counter the value 100. The seems not right.

Its an Ultrasonic sensor, so do you still hear the clicking noise after 1 or 2 days?

@meyraa Hey, Mey! Thats a really big and nice mirror! Thanks for sharing your project:thumbs_up:

@core Can you remove MMM-Fule from your `config.json. There is an unhandled error with this module.

@michshav Hey, did this solve your problem?

@jtmoore81 I think you have two options:

Option 1:
You could use your VM as a MagicMirror Server and then buy a cheap computer like an Raspberry Pi Zero W, that can be attached to your monitor without a big foot print. The Raspbery Pi Zero W will run MagicMirror Client.

Option 2:
Just buy a cheap HDMI to RJ45 adapter. Connect the HDMI adapter to your Host machine and map the HDMI port to your VM.

@pierrepi Thats exactly why you don’t make any lokal changes to the project files without forking.

I realy recogmend you to create a fork of every submodule you edit. This makes updating much easier.

@core Did you just execute npm start dev in your Raspberry Pi’s home directory?

Follow the steps to successfully execute the command:

• Stop any instance of MagicMirror (pm2 stop MagicMirror if you use pm2)
• cd MagicMirror -> You need to go into the MagicMirror directory
• Start MagicMirror with Dev Tools
  • If you are connected via SSH: DISPLAY=:0 nohup npm start dev &
  • If you are directly on your Raspberry Pi: npm start dev
