@sdetweil Nothing shows up in the terminal when I run in though

@sdetweil Yes it opened. Where is the somefile?

@sdetweil npm start >somefile
npm ERR! missing script: start

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:

Yes, the program started then I ended it

@sdetweil I am getting the same “default message if none supplied in the config.js”

This is what it says

@sdetweil Into cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/uploadPics?

@sdetweil Yes

@veldrovive Hello! I want to use this module for

1. An intro screen - only for 10 secs
2. Move into screen 2 - stay there

Can I only have one screen to have a time interval and the other doesn’t? If so how?

@sdetweil
It says it’s up to date

@sdetweil Hello! Yes I can see the QR code on the display. However, when I scan it - this is what its showing me

What does this mean?
