Sorry, shure. Was a mistake from me.

15" Panel from an old laptop found in the trash with a separate Controller.

I’m a bit confused what to do next.
The mirror price is actually 100% more expensive than my already bought mirror with the same dimensions.

I’m waiting too like yawns!

@bhepler
in general it’s not bad for a raspi3 to increase the swapfile from 100MB to a higher level.

at first check your status:
sudo service dphys-swapfile status
U see something like this:

● dphys-swapfile.service - LSB: Autogenerate and use a swap file
Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/dphys-swapfile)
Active: active (exited) since Mi 2016-11-30 13:17:14 CET; 6h ago
Process: 613 ExecStart=/etc/init.d/dphys-swapfile start (code=exited, status=0 /SUCCESS)

Hint: Some lines were ellipsized, use -l to show in full.

Maybe u have 100MB instead of 1024 like in my case.

If u want to change this value the edit your

sudo nano /etc/dphys-swapfile

change to this value and save your file

CONF_SWAPSIZE=1024

the do a

sudo dphys-swapfile setup

and activate your new swap level:

sudo dphys-swapfile swapon

thats all. Now your System can handle wit more than his physical RAM.

In My case i do in raspi-config a new

“Expand File system”

to reorganize the file system an reboot after that my raspi.
If you are a owner of a raspi 2 it’s more common to change the swap file to max 512MB.

please inform me what’s your experience after this change

you can also check very niche your tasks mem, swap and other things in a ssh session on your PC with htop

sudo apt-get install htop

have a nice try

@mortenbirkelund

If i understand this sentence right, this mirror is a chrome based mirror with a transmission value of 3%
The problem is, 3% is too strong and in bright illuminated room you didn’t really can read the white words from behind the mirror.
Better a value of 8%!

“In principle, the coating of SGG MIRASTAR can be thermally toughened*, even on the pulley roll side. Chromium mirror glass can therefore be converted to toughened glass, giving it a huge advantage over conventional silvered mirrors!”

@mortenbirkelund

here is another mirror project
https://glancr.de/development/test-spionspiegel-fuer-smart-mirrors/

This developer s has tested different mirrors with different transmissions.
The test description is very detailed.

German:
Der Spionspiegel vom Glaser mit etwa 12% Transmission sowie der Chromspiegel mit 8% lieferten einwandfreie Ergebnisse

English:
The mirror from a glas manufacturer with 12% transmission and the chrome mirror with 8% delivered the best results.

You haven’t more details or datasheets of this mirror?

@bhepler

have u increase the swapfile?

Re: Meteoblue Current Weather Module

I have implemented your Module, the MM2 is starting and then nothing happens.

Loading weather…

Can you tell me what is wrong in my config?
It doesn’t work with your location and nor with my location lon, lat and asl values!

                {
                        module: 'MMM-meteoblueCurrent',
                        position: 'top_right',
                        config: {
                                apikey: 'xxxxxxxxxxxx', // my personal api key is new and has 12 numbers or letters
                                city: 'Oberrieden',
                                lat: '47.2744',
                                lon: '8.5784',
                                asl: '464'
                                }
                },

the log of mm2 tell me nothing is wrong. All other forecast modules are working:

0|mm       | No helper found for module: currentweather.
0|mm       | Initializing new module helper ...
0|mm       | Initializing new module helper ...

0|mm       | No helper found for module: airquality.

Another question…

Is it possible to run a second instance of MM2?

@Codejune
