I got mine off Amazon, but also lots available on ebay. Just search for “HDMI LCD Controller Board” there are lots of different options. I found one that just had the single hdmi output instead of multiple outputs to save space.
You may need to email some of the sellers to check the board is compatible with your LCD panel. If it’s not they may suggest a similar one.

Best option is to look at the part number on the back of the LCD panel, my screen was out of a Sony Vaio laptop but was a Hitachi LCD panel, I searched for "HDMI LCD Controller Board + ‘LCD part number’ " and that came up with a couple of results, make sure the resolution is correct as well.

Now Wall Mounted. Still a few module mods to make.

Ah ok, so could put them in preference order then. My dates now appear in dd-mm-yyyy format. Could be doing that on location basis.

Is there also a way to show the date of the event in dd-mm-yy format? instead of yyyy-dd-mm?

Ah, that’s great thanks. I was wondering if multiple events were causing that. It would be great to have a few multiple event types. Ye, there aren’t many events in Leamington itself. Can you put a distance radius around your home post code?
Thank you for your help, great little module.

Tried to get this working, only showing “Upcoming Events…” text on the mirror.

This is my config, can you see why it might not be loading any events?

 {
                    module: 'MMM-Events',
                    position: 'bottom_left',
                    config: {
                        city: "Leamington Spa, United Kingdom",            // Your City
                        eventType: "music, comedy, performing_arts, sports, food, food_beer, outdoors_recreation",                 // Choose from Events List below
                        when: "Future",                 // "All", "Future", "Past", "Today", "Last Week", "This Week", "Next week", and months by name, e.g. "October"
                        mode: "noFrame",                   // "Frame" or "noFrame" (around picture)
                        apikey: "verified_api",
                        rotateInterval: 2 * 60 * 1000,     // New Event Appears every 2 minutes
                        useHeader: false,                  // Set to true if you want a header
                        header: "",
                        animationSpeed: 3000,              // Event fades in and out
                        picture: true,                     // true, false = no image
                    }
...

One more question. I want to make a route going via different roads, can that be done in this config file?
For example:
Destination: X
Via: A1

Destination: X
Via: A2

My Todoist isn’t updating and I can’t work out why.
Re-installed, refreshed Api key, same problem. No changes in config file from when it was previously working.

I use this app to send reminders or messages to my mirror.

Following the steps on this thread is a good start for the zero W.

I re-installed the module and it works fine now.
