@sdetweil Thank you. I will buy one and try it out.

Hi,
I bought the VSDISPLAY HDMI VGA DVI Audio LCD Controller-card for LP173WD1 LTN173KT01-A01 B173RW01 LP140WD2 to attach my old laptop screen with the Raspberry Pi. This card takes 12 V.
As I’m making a Magic Mirror, I would like to use only one power supply, but the Raspberry Pi takes 5 V.
Is there a possibility to attach the Raspberry Pi to the controller card in order to use only one power supply?
Thank you for your help.

Yvonne

@sdetweil I did what you suggested.
I moved the folder to the MagicMirror/modules folder.
In the MagicMirror/config folder I have added the configuration as mentioned before. When I run nom run config: check there are no errors in my config file.
If I delete this module in the config file and I run npm then the Magic Mirror is running fine. With this module I get a black screen.
I have made an image of a part of the message on the screen.
Maybe this is an indication.
I hope you are willing and able to give me some hint.
Thank you again.

@sdetweil Thank you.

@sdetweil Thank you for your instruction.
One question, my modules are in the directory:
home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/default.
You don’t mention the default subdirectory.
I presume that my path is okay, because all the modules are located in this subdirectory. Is that okay?
Thank you.

I installed the module as mentioned in the instructions.
I created a api key with Weerlive.
When I run the MagicMirror, I get a black screen.
When I delete the code in the config file, the MagicMirror software runs without problems and I see the newsfeed, the calendar and so on.
So I suppose I do something wrong.
I attach a screenshot from the location on the MMM-MyDutchWeather

This is the config file (I deleted some modules in the text so make it shorter):

I hope somebody is able to help me.
Thank you in advance.
