I am now on the development branch.
I have verified that the changes fixed my “blank screen” with the language set in the config file.

Thanks!

Solved my issues.

Saw the following when starting up MM

results: [{"message":"Writing credentials to credentials.ini","type":"status"},{"message":"Writing id: undefined and secret: undefined","type":"status"},{"message":"Credentials write successful","type":"status"}]
Create new todo fetcher for list: Groceries - Interval: 60000
Create new todo fetcher for list: Family - Interval: 60000
Whoops! There was an uncaught exception...

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?

Tracing the information back, it was in the config.js file. I had an extra set of [] around the credentials data. Not sure how or why I had it that way, but all cleared up now.

I’m having a problem with my fitbit module. (mods if this should be a new thread just let me know).
I can start the MM and the FB data loads, then after a time my ‘credentials.ini’ file gets changed to “undefined” for both entries

[Credentials]
c_id = undefined
c_secret = undefined

Now, when I ran setupAccess.py the file was correct and my tokens file was created. What I’m seeing happen is that after a while the FB module stops refreshing. I’m guessing it’s because the tokens need to be refreshed and because my credentials are gone, it can’t authorize.

Any thoughts?
I’m not sure how to get any logs or info out of the system. I’m running MM through pm2 and I don’t see any log files.

TIA

Cool, I’m in, I like breaking things LOL :D

As a noob to the MM project I’m really fascinated by it and eager to start writing my own modules (though I keep finding modules that suit my purpose).

OK, So I’m working on this and being new to MM, NodeJS, GIT, etc. is not helping :) (I am a programmer, so at least I have that going for me).
Something that I don’t think was too clear, at least it wasn’t for me. When running setupAccess.py, it’s starting a web service, the direction say to log into your fitbit account and authorize your app, what I had to do, on my Pi, was to go to 127.0.0.1:8080. This initiated the redirect to Fitbit, when I logged in I had the check boxes to enable/disable items and the allow/deny buttons.
When I clicked on the “allow” then the terminal with setupAccess running showed that the tokens were getting written out, and indeed the tokens.ini file was finally created.

Lots of good info to try out. I failed at getting this working this morning before leaving for work.

I do have a question. The directions say MM has to be started with sudo, i’m starting it by running ‘pm2 start mm’ per the MM install setup. How do I run this as root?

Thanks

@PointPubMedia
Sorry,
the correct syntax is prependString per the documentation:

prependString: 'Pi 3 Temp: '

worked on my system.

@PointPubMedia Yes, the prepend string is in the config

modules: [
    {
        module: 'mmm-systemtemperature',
        position: 'top_center', // This can be any of the regions.
        classes: 'small dimmed', // Add your own styling. Optional.
        config: {
           **prepend: 'your string'**
        }
    }
]

The module worked for me, running on RPi 3. The plugin is just executing a script, then stripping off extra data.

What system are you running the module on?

My system runs 144F when in a case and about 130F out of the case (well, with the top removed). It a Vilros case for the PI3.

Is your Pi in a case or somewhere where there is no good air flow? Do you have a heat sink on the CPU?
