I tweaked the module logging a bit to include the time and there’s obviously something systematic happening. This is what I get after some time (as said, messages included with console.log.:

It’s always turning on after 1-2 minutes and turning off after 3 seconds immediately.

After some googling I’m getting the feeling that the radar sensor is not the best way to go…

Hi all,
I think I’ve read somewhere that MMM-PIR-Sensor works as well with a radar seonsor (RCWL-0516) behind glass.
Now for me it currently gives very odd behaviour.
I get a USER_PRESENCE notification and a “refresh” of the monitor (turn off shortly and turn it on again) every few seconds even if noone is in front of the mirror.
No other messages, no errors.

I have the radar sensor installed without any resistor in between.
Nothing special in the config.

        //disabled: true,
        module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor',
        config: {
            sensorPin: 17,
            powerSavingDelay: 20,
        }

Can anyone confirm that this module works with a radar sensor and possibly help me out?

Thanks!

I have now managed to include the little guy in the MMM-DarkSkyForecast module:

BUT: I have used a sprite image from a google image search and need to ask the weather station provider for allowance to use/share it.

@dazza120 I’m afraid a heatsink won’t help much but am curious about your results. I haven’t had good results with heatsinks in the past.

@dazza120 said in Raspberry Pi 4 Released !:

Can I just upgrade the Pi 3 to the Buster OS so i can just swap the ssd over. Can someone confirm if it’s a plug and play boot from OS on an SSD? Rather than through the bios bit to enable it. Really looking forward to this PI I might get a heat sink but I want a big one not the little ones, need to see if I still have the one from the sky box, got a fan already for it but only activates when the TV is on

No you can’t!
But I guess you know that by now.

Buster on the Pi3B+ and Buster on the Pi 4 need different kernel drivers.
So just switching the card won’t work.
A clean install is the best way at least on the Pi 4.
After all you can try to just move the MM directory to the Pi 4, but honestly I would install the modules and dependencies again as well.

@Cr4z33 ho ho, hold on you’re quite fast here with your conclusions.
What else should one do to deliver the picture via HDMI?

Have you heard of more people having problems with HDMI adapters and the Pi 4?

Hi all,

there’s a range of weathermodules available but has anyone programmed or seen some depiction of a “weatherboy” (or girl) like this one?

Asking for my son
Would be great to implement this into the mirror for him.
Also, some visual thermometer would be great!
You know, things that small children can interprete.

@SH20192 MM system works without changes on Raspbian Buster with the new kernel?
I’m positively surprised…
Gotta order a second one. Lol!

I was so hyped by this unexpected message I needed to order one (the 4gb of course).

Please mind that it’s going to have a new kernel and current Raspbian Stretch will presumably not work on this one. A new Raspbian (Buster) has already been released. So we’ll have to see if MM runs on it without problems…

@surger13 You know what? I have this nearly finished. Multiple comics to choose from, adjustable intervals etc etc.
It’s not easy however, since the comics have different sizes.
I’ll send a link for beta testing as soon as I’m finished.
